There are rituals we all take part in that help define us and reinforce our connection to the outside universe. They include things like:
- Washing your own dog - Polishing your own boots - Preparing meals
A layperson with home equipment can't do these things tasks exactly as well as other people who have practiced and have better stuff, but that's okay. You probably don't even have the latest technology to do these things well, or at scale, or with best practices, and it's okay. But doing these things is a nice time to remember and be mindful: you have a dog, you have to maintain your equipment, you feed your family.
They're nice rituals, and they're constructive, but not efficient at scaling labor but very effective at scaling humility, and that is important.
