Re: life is nowadays the other way around
People in yesteryears had more time to devote to spirituality...There were no computers, cable, dish, traffic, timetable e.t.c...As a result their mind was devoted to bettering themselves...
How else can anyone explain the emergence of great thinkers and leaders like Buddha, Confucius, Lao-Tze e.t.c. while the Abrahamic faiths produced thinkers like Descartes, Thomas Aquinas, Ibn Taymiyyah and Jawziyya e.t.c...
These people were sought for their spirituality and the void that their works and thoughts could fill in a person's life...People at that time were at peace...
Today, we try to fill the spiritual void with things like partying, drinking, drugs e.t.c....Those things can never fill the spiritual void and instead end up destroying our spirituality instead...Hence the unhappy people...
And the person who is seeking spiritual fulfillment from where spirituality lies is considered a moron...By those who have no spirituality...
