| What is enlightenment? To me it sounds just like "being insightful", which is what you will become as you gain more life experience. Well... Hopefully. (You just need some functional brain cells, and the right amount of challenges in life, but not all people have that).
I think society overall is more insightful and enlightened nowadays compared to, say, one hundred years ago. There is a deeper understanding in just about everything - psychology, sex and relationships, economy, crime, politics and whatnot. Many things we learn as PUA-techniques and alpha male behavior are actually considered common sense where I live (Sweden, belonging to the middle class). It took me about a year to realize that and see how PUA terminology have corresponding "everyday language translations", so to say. Even things like mindfullness and meditation is normal stuff.
So... IMO, I think enlightenment is already such a big part of my society that I can't see how it would work without it. So yes indeed, it is definitely an important part of a healthy and conscious lifestyle, in all kinds of relations and relationships. However, I don't find spirituality necessary. But if you think it enriches your life, go for it.
