I believe so, cello. But how does one define seeking? If someone is just plain content with their life, without needing to question everything (e.g. the way I do, which almost drives me insane at times), then what right do I have to say that they are living in a unfulfilled way? Perhaps it is better to live in the present, without seeking anything beyond the moment at hand? Is that not a spirituality, too? Then again, I think that true living-in-the-moment takes serious awareness, discipline, and even seeking. It is an appreciation for all the little things that exist around oneself. Hence, Zen. I see this as adding volumes to one's life, and as being very spiritual.
Who was it that said "The unexamined life is not worth living." (Aristotle?)... this is how I feel, and yet there are so many times that I want to stop examining and just take things for granted. Yet I can't, anymore. Everything is up for grabs, it seems... makes for some very unstable times.
