There are things that we do, that once were thoughtful rational actions but are now simply rituals.
It is thought that social policy makers in ancient India made the cow a holy figure so that in a famine people would not kill their best source of sustenance(milk), fuel(dung), labour(plow) etc. for short term relief. And now the cow is so abundant in India that it is problematic to everyday life.
Many things I have let go because of the very desire to NOT fall into the category of ritual. But it just seems that no matter what endeavour I take on in a state of conscious, rational mindfulness, in time leads to a hazy ritualistic adherence without very little lease on actual understanding.
To fall victim to this process - my meditation/spiritualism, friend and family ties, political and historical stance and so much more...
sad?..

It came to me in a dream like state of exuberant whimsy
