Understanding of rituals

In our every day lives, as explained in class, there are these things called rituals that we carry out. Each person may be different in the rituals they perform but in a sense they are carried out for a reason. Either calming or just to get your day started there is some reason that you do these things in the order in which you do. It may seem weird to some that people have "rituals" they do on their way to school or whatever, but who cares. People do things a certain way because it works for them, I hate it when people tell you that you are doing something the wrong way because honestly they aren't the ones doing it and yes maybe it wouldn't take as long to go about if you did it their way but you like to do it your way because thats just what you have been doing in the past. When you find something that works for you why change it, I mean there could be obvious benefits from adopting what other people do but then you become less unique in a sense. Every time you adopt a way of being or a way of doing things you lose you. I'm not really sure how to say that. There are pro's and con's to doing things in a certain order, that's individual. What I can say however as a whole is that rituals exist everywhere, and frankly they're important because they have given us all kinds of things. They influence your history and who you are, what you want to do with your life and who you see as being fit to hang around. Each person has their own and that's fine, it keeps life fun and interesting!
