Hi there, I'm doing a survey. Why do you think rituals sometimes lose their value and becomes routines? (In your opinion, in a paragraph)

I suppose it depends on what the ritual is. In most Religions, if a person is performing (what I think is Ritual), and they believe it wholeheartedly, it is never going to get old. I imagine it depends on the Religion & Ritual.

Other sorts of "rituals" like how many times you brush your bottom and top teeth could become more like "obsessive compulsive disorder". Some people I know treat their IPhone like a sort of "ritualistic" activity, looking and checking without any real need.

It will depend upon what the Ritual is, and what it is used in or for.
