Saying rituals don’t matter, is like saying the taste of food doesn’t matter because it all ends up in your stomach anyway - you are not wrong, but well, you’re missing the message Let me more specific by what I mean when I say ritual:

When I think of rituals I think of something like a wedding vow. The bride and groom both say “I do” of some sort - in attendance and in front of people. We have an audience. Everyone knows why they are at the wedding, it’s to see this But I think this why it’s important to have a real ritual, making it real

Most rituals don’t matter TO ME. I kinda hate a lot of them. But I understand the importance to others so I attend without complaint (including my wedding when I preferred eloping) TO ME these rituals are important like learning cursive. There is something beautiful in a handwritten note but imposing the practice takes up space for things more important to others I guess what I’m saying is I’m not calling for bans and cancellations but I would like to see us put value on new rituals. Maybe celebration each time a community manages to crowd source a home for a homeless person, for instance Rituals are fine. Tradition for tradition’s sake can get toxic fast

Pondering with intention the last few years a general lack of healthy male rites of passage rituals. There’s a lot of toxic stuff and a real lack of meaningful community for young men and men in the western world

I think this is also very much a cultural issue. Here in Germany, we are often very sober/ unemotional and don't celebrate important moments enough. Especially the celebration of outstanding achievements (university graduation in particular)

Tbh I don't like the regular rituals. I see it as mainly to "show off" something ! We have different kinds of rituals in Egypt or done in a different way like weddings for example. We sacrifice (cow, sheep, buffalo) and the meat is distributed to the poor as a kind of celebration. And more stuff like this.

Something that makes this more intuitive for me is seeing your life in chapters which I got from Chamath from All In podcast. Sometimes the ritual can be a drag, but if I consider it as a chapter then it's easier for me to appreciate the moment because it's going to end.

Sometimes I think rituals are a way to express feelings that are difficult to put in words

Rituals are like the vessels to fill things that humanity is struggling to understand. Love is hard to understand so the ritual of wedding (as you said) is the vessel to fil it

Rituals are one of the pillars of memetics… beliefs, rules, and rituals. All are necessary and enshrined in everything.

I remember one of my first photographic projects was entitled Rituals and it was a very contradictory experience. In fact, I discovered, as I developed it, that the rituals I had learned during my years in Italy were completely different from those I was approaching in Japan. In a country where rituals are the only proven proof to believe something really happened and at the same time ritualize a new beginning, you find yourself living on rituals, to affirm whatever you do. Until I was 35 I fought rituals with all my strength, today I consider them necessary to reclaim my place in civil society.

Kinda agrees (as usual), expect for the fact that rituals are also a way to exclude people who are not in the known. Take the tea ceremony ;) I loooove the drink, but I found 茶道 to be ridiculously complicated, with those codes having no impact on the actual taste. I really felt it was a way to repell intruders. So all not so pretty.

Spot on analogy! Rituals, like the taste of food, add flavor to life. They're about the journey, not just the destination. Curious to hear more about your take on rituals - they often carry deeper meaning than meets the eye.

Absolutely! Rituals add meaning and texture to our experiences. like the flavors in a well-prepared meal elevate our enjoyment, rituals enrich the moments of our lives. They’re not just actions, but expressions of intent, connection, and mindfulness. What kind of rituals do you find meaningful?

rituals hold cultural and personal significance, they connect us to traditions and beliefs - dismissing them overlooks their importance

Rituals are important yes, but the meaning of the rituals themselves must be clearly laid out

Rituals bring a deeper connection and meaning to our everyday actions. They transform the mundane into the meaningful, creating moments of reflection, bonding, and tradition. as savoring a meal enriches our experience, embracing rituals enriches our lives, offering more than just routine.

When I say rituals, I am referring to the meaningful and intentional practices that we engage in to mark important moments, connect with our spirituality, or create a sense of structure and meaning in our lives. These rituals might include ceremonies, traditions, or routines that hold personal or cultural significance. Just as the taste of food can enhance our enjoyment and experience of a meal, rituals can enrich and deepen our experiences and connections in life. So while it's true that the ultimate goal may be achieved regardless of the specific rituals we observe, the rituals themselves hold value in the messages they convey and the meaning they bring to our lives.
