Why is it the most spiritual places on earth suffer a lot ?

I had a lady come into my Sunday school class. She had travelled the world looking for Spiritual enlightenment. After a few weeks of her being there and answering some very good questions I decided to write her a letter explaining Christianity and it's Spirituality. She proudly showed the class the letter and decided to read it while we were getting going. Into the second page she let out a shriek that woke the dead, three the letter like it was burning her hands and raced out of the class screaming as she ran. I never saw her again so I have no way of knowing how the Spirit touched her that day but it taught me that spirituality is within you and not some place you visit.
