    ?

    Among the places I have been to, Bali is a very special one.  It's not just the sea, the rice fields, the temples what impresses me the most is the small basket of flowers that is enshrined in front of each family's door every day.

    Baskets about the size of palms are woven with palm leaves, filled with freshly picked flowers and leaves, ylang-ylang, impatiens, frangipani, rice grainsstained with dew, they appear every morning in front of every door, on the roadside,  On the ridge of the rice field it is prayer, wish, and heart

    The beautiful sense of ritual impresses passers-by in every casual corner.

    When it comes to the sense of ritual, everyone's definition and experience should be different.  It can be as big as a family reunion during the New Year and holidays, as small as hugging and kissing goodbye before going out, or as a meal arrangement.

    One of my girlfriends has two major pleasures, studying food and watching Korean dramas.  Her lunch is usually eaten at home by herself, which is relatively simple, but almost every day.  Because she is a girl from the north, she will use very rich ingredients to make noodles, and the noodles are chewy and the accessories are delicious.  It is delicious in color and fragrance, and it is served in a very beautiful soup bowl.  The bowls and chopsticks are placed next to the fresh vases of flowers, and there are Korean dramas on the ipad beside it

    Another friend has the habit of taking a nap.  Even if you can only sleep for fifteen minutes, you should carefully remove your makeup, tie your hair up with a headband, put on comfortable pajamas, and close the curtains

    In contrast, in most cases, I should belong to the kind of person who is quite boring.  There is no sense of ritual, and it is reflected in making choices that are more conservative.

    For example, order the same dish at the same restaurant, drink the same coffee at the same seat in the same cafe, and buy similar clothes from the same brand in the same mall

    The placement of things, the matching of clothes, the steps of makeup there are almost no changes.

    Even walking or taking the subway will naturally walk on the same side, climb the same stairs, stand on the same platform, and even wait at a specific door.

    Is this inertia?  Action memory?  Because a lot of times, it doesn't seem to be doing it very consciously.

    Then I slowly discovered that there are many people like this around me. Most people think that there is nothing wrong with it, isn't it just a habit?  Another part of people think, I am happy, why?

    Just when I was trying to think about whether I belonged to the habit-forming and natural type, or the happy and happy type, I saw this sentence:

    Once a person becomes dependent, he becomes a child who is picked up by someone from the kindergarten.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
