Ritual and Community
Ritual in society used to foster community without a need for constant communication. Politeness and shared traditions shaped a sense of belonging and duty towards one another. In contrast, modern society emphasizes communication without prioritizing genuine community interactions. The lost art of ritual fosters a deep connection and understanding among individuals, bringing a sense of unity beyond mere communication.
