“Feelings are like children, you can’t let them drive, but you can’t put them in the trunk.”

But I feel that one has a ¨spiritual parent¨:

“Educate a child so you don’t have to reprimand an adult.”

and a ¨spiritual sibling¨:

“If your only tool is a Hammer then every problem looks like a Nail.”

Can someone explain me [ X country] obsession with [ X celebration] and similar [location] rituals? Why do different cultures have their respective rituals? Why do some people prioritize certain values and act on them? Is having more reasons to celebrate life a bad or good thing?
