The Secular God

Life consists of several different facets. It should reasonably be expected that a robust cadre or theory of spirituality caters to all of the different facets of life. One could argue that the different facets of life consist of Work Life, Relationship Life, Recreation Life, and Spiritual Life. If you do not subscribe to spirituality, you need only ignore possibility of that facet.

Work Life requires talents or gifting, and some sort of education.

Relationship Life requires social interactions, making of friends, making of acquaintances, management of neighbors or fellow workers, for those who are inclined marriage, raising of children.

Recreation Life revolves around choices about how we spend time deemed necessary for recharging of our bodies. Recreation Life is not sleep time, or ‘just sit down’ time. Sleep time is for recreating or recharging of body cells. Recreation Life involves spending of time in activities not typical of what we do for a living — diversity which helps keep our minds fresh, open to new ideas. Recreation Life is about, do you watch TV and just how much of it, do you play squash or racquetball (the ball comes hard and fast in one, comes slower but more difficult to catch with the racquet in the other), do you bike along the road and on trails or do you go ‘stationary bike’, do you watch mostly movies or do you mostly prefer serial stuff.
