we ritualise the wrong things

Though we mock Tundra dwellers for their bizarre taboos we may have something to learn. People who ritualise work and play free up the serious stuff for serious attention. In the developed world we take our work seriously and any ritualisation is frowned on as 'inefficient'. However our unspent playfulness and need for ritual gets dumped into the religious arena. No wonder the Tundra dwellers think our priests are 'playing' at religion...People need ritual and play- so put it up front in life- just as many indigenous people's did- till we taught them 'better.'
