rituals

A big part in every day life for most people, not just religious. If one performs certain things in distinct movements or patterns because it feels awkward not to do it, one is exersising a ritual of some sort.
A ritual does not have to include animal slaughter, satanic pentagrams or the cross of jesus christ. I have for example my morning rituals. If I do not perform them in a specific way, or not at all, I start on the wrong foot so to say. When I am in the shower, without my fiancé, I follow a specific movement pattern. If not, it doesn't feel right.

These are just small things but it is in fact the small things that count. God, if you choose to believe in him or something similar, is definately in the details. I do not consider myself religious in any way, with the exeption of interest in the way it impacts on humans and its mythology.

Every day rituals, we all have them, may come off as weird. You might just now think or say to your friends that this guy has really lost it. Maybe so, but I can guarantee that you all have lost equal amounts of sanity as I, should you judge me in that fashion. Maybe you've never thought about it, so try it for a day or two. Really go through your day with an open mind to what you are actually doing and how.
You will be surprised.
