Spirituality: A Vital Practice, Not a Crutch

Genuine spiritual practices impose a significant moral responsibility on practitioners, often requiring a solid foundation. Individuals with high openness to experience may benefit more from these practices, as they foster creativity and yearning for deeper understanding. Engaging with literature, art, and philosophical inquiries serves as avenues to explore this yearning.
