    However that is surely not what you meant (assuming it is you being referenced in the OP) when you said it? Surely you were not just saying FMF is an unbeliever...is that what you were saying?
    That's not what I'm saying. You're reading way too much into what I mean by what I say, and you're over complicating the issue.

    I didn't reply at all to the OP.

    There is also the feeling of "connectedness" - to people, to animals, environment, etc. Lack of it could indicate spiritual illness.

    You can either explain what you meant, or address my post. It's just forum etiquette.

    So might there perhaps be more "spiritual illness" in cities than in rural areas?

    I don't think that follows. City spirit is different from country spirit, but that doesn't make it ill. Holmes (Doyle) taught me that in the country, the perversions are well hidden. In the city people are always inches away, so everyone knows what you are up to. Sort of.

    There's certainly a 'disconnect' in city living for many people who have perhaps moved there for economic reasons and feel displaced from their family and roots. - Indeed, you could make the comparison with a plant being uprooted and suffering as a result of its replanting in unfamiliar soil.

    There are more people to connect with, but less nature. Then again, if one appreciates architecture and such, they can connect to that.

    I borrow from other posters - part of spiritual well being is finding a purpose in life and staying true to one's self, wherever that takes them.
