I was just pointing out that it goes both ways. Ritual, no rituals, it's possible to be attached to either idea. The rituals, or lack thereof doesn't really matter, imho.

For the record, I don't think anyone here has a "problem" that's any different from the one we all have, which is dukkha. Just talking, that's all.

But you just said:

Sure, but seeing rituals as a "problem" is, well a problem.

...and:

Yes, exactly. The aversion to rites and rituals could be thought of something to let go of.

And no one here has said anything about "a problem" but you. So again, what is it about ambivalence and non-attachment to ritual(s) that makes you so sad that you feel compelled to raise this straw man of folks "having a problem" with, or having "aversion" to them, and talk about them as if THEY were the ones with the problem?
