      Right… You want to elaborate on that? This is the first time I’ve encountered such opposition to the practice of sitting still and learning to pay attention to one’s mind. Are you sure you know what, for example, mindfulness meditation actually entails?

        You’re reading too much into a single sentence sarcastic statement.

        I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sitting still and thinking intently. I think more people could benefit from that. It’s finding any sort of spirituality in those moments that I think is bullshit.

          Spirituality is a bit tainted term, I’ll give you that, but it doesn’t need to imply belief in anything supernatural.
