Rituals: A Double-Edged Sword of Emotion
Rituals possess intrinsic power that can be directed toward various outcomes, rather than being inherently good or bad. While transforming habits into rituals may foster a sense of happiness, true richness in life stems from a variety of emotions, not solely positive ones. Emotions like sadness, often unlocked through rituals such as funerals, play a critical role in personal growth and the depth of human experience. The emotional spectrum offers valuable lessons, reinforcing that the meaning imbued in rituals can differ significantly. Therefore, the essence of rituals lies in their potential to deepen our emotional experience, facilitating both joy and grief.
