Life is a Ritual






I don't know why people feel that they have to leave their criticism when it isn't necessary or even wanted. It's really annoying in fact.

So I work tonight...from 5pm to 10pm...not that bad I guess...I hope I don't work Saturday or Sunday...that would really suck, I already know Im working on Halloween...not like Halloween is that big of a deal...at least not to religious people, and if it is they're hypocrites..

I have to write a paper for my English class...its on Language through Ritual...haha what a great topic to give Brittany....anything that could somehow be morphed into talking about Religion is perfect for me...my teacher has no clue how opinionated I can get, but she soon will if she keeps throwing topics like this out to me..

I think I'm going to write about how so many religions are ritualistic...just like the Catholics...is not everything they do ritualistic? It's repeated over and over...what about Christmas tradition? we repeat the same thing year after year. We go to sleep early at night so Santa can come and we wake up super early in the morning wake up mommy and daddy and run to the tree to see how many presents are under it, and then rampage through the packages and open them crazy. After that is when you play with all the new things you got, and then it's time to put them away and clean up so you can have a nice family Christmas dinner....Before Christmas you purchase a tree....ritual....you decorate it....ritual.

Weddings.....ritual...propose....ring.....plan wedding...cake...flowers, white dress, bridesmaids, best man, tux...

what's wrong with a red dress? what? it doesn't represent purity? mostly everyone wearing that white dress is impure...they want to feel special, but in fact they're just like everyone else...

why do people even get married? people didn't marry each other back in the tribal/primal days......they did what they needed to do, and reproduced so they could create a population of people....there was no getting married...no unity...no vows...it's all what we made it....we created something that's special that shouldn't be that great..

how many people get divorced? how many people have been with that one single person that they married? how many people are faithful?

I would LOVE it if people were faithful...but I know...that they aren't...it's a life...I know..you can't be....people are always looking for bigger and better things, theyre always looking to upgrade...not too mention they find comfort in being with other people because of their emotional or mental instability....

I've always believed in being faithful to who you're with...I had this crazy idea in my head that told me everything would be amazing...I'd only have sex with one person, and that person would be the one, and I would marry that person....nothing bad would happen...I wouldn't get deceived or hurt..

what a BIG CROCK OF BULL SHIT!

now...I don't know what to think, of course I still want a person to be faithful to me....but I don't expect much anymore...the more I expect, the more I'm let down...and If I expect nothing, then I can't exactly be too disappointed now can I?

This world is ridiculous...this world IS ritual...everything is repeated...maybe in a different way because we're supposedly constantly upgrading...when all I see is the opposite...

Anyways....think about what rituals you have in your life right now...do you really want to do that everyday for the rest of your life?
