Right, but there are other places to get this.
Casual sports for adults.
You local maker space.
Having friends over - for a while we used to host a Sunday dinner and have guests over weekly (pasta and sauce is cheep and easy).
For myself kids, and their demands in modern America pretty much killed all of these things off for me... Now my rituals are their activities.
- coffeemug 9y agoRemember that they're watching you. You're the model. My parents dedicated their entire lives to me. It was all about me, and nothing for them. While I'll be forever grateful for what they've done for me, I find myself struggling building a meaningful life as an adult. I seriously think my life now would be dramatically better if my dad did something as simple as go play soccer himself once a week when I was growing up (and occasionally have me watch him play).
- GavinMcG 9y agoMost of the things you mention are relatively small scale and not necessarily consistent or regular. Church is every week, at the same time, with enough people involved to have a consistent community – even if individual members don't show up consistently.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> Church is every week Every day, in many cases, though perhaps considered obligatory only slightly more than once a week.
- toasterlovin 9y agoIMO, the most important thing is that religion places your life in a grand narrative.
- ASalazarMX 9y agoInternet friendships can be very rewarding because you can easily find people with compatible interests, hobbies, etc. If only they weren't as superficial, otherwise loneliness would be a solved problem by now.
