Rituals should not be viewed as a simple quantity to achieve happiness; rather, their effectiveness lies in meaningful application. It's crucial to recognize that while rituals can enhance life, they can also become compulsive if misused. The key is to utilize rituals in contexts where they are genuinely beneficial, thus preventing them from turning into obligatory tasks. Unlike habits, which can feel dry and lack emotional engagement, rituals infuse meaning into actions, providing a more profound connection to activities. Understanding this distinction can help individuals maintain a healthy relationship with their practices.
