“The Unmystic (Sonnet 3137)
There is no spirituality except kindness,
no church, no chakra, no vibration,
manifestation, nothing,
just plain ordinary kindness,
the mundane, day to day kind -
if you need any of the supernatural stuff,
that's alright, there's nothing wrong with that,
just don't confuse them as anything more
than personal therapy, old or new.
Different people have different therapeutic needs,
some need church, some alcohol, some sports,
others are into those newage stuff, and I myself
cannot spend a day without some music -
just remember, superstition always comes dressed as
enlightenment, and fanaticism comes dressed as fact.
Spirituality has no relation to fictitious beings,
spirituality is our relation to our fellow beings.”

“Praxeology is a theoretical and systematic, not a historical, science. Its scope is human action as such, irrespective of all environmental, accidental, and individual circumstances of the concrete acts. Its cognition is purely formal and general without reference to the material content and the particular features of the actual case. It aims at knowledge valid for all instances in which the conditions exactly correspond to those implied in its assumptions and inferences. Its statements and propositions are not derived from experience. They are, like those of logic and mathematics, a priori. They are not subject to verification or falsification on the ground of experience and facts.”
