Are not habits or rituals are often important helpers for a happy and stabile living especially for disabled persons? And yet in some ways human habits change to a fetter. When and where is the threshold of compulsion and servitude?
I always wore these thoughts myself around me and now I heard the thoughts expressed. How do think about it?

Hello Renzo, thanks for your answer,
yes, in one way "too much" and "too little" may be problematic. But in another part of life, cells, diaphragmas, catalysators, plants, animals, races, men and politics and in all the nature there you see always borders, doors or compartiments, and if something crosses the borders anything happens always, when someting is too much or less or crosses a threshold.
Greetings from Austria
I think your question of "What is the threshold" is a very interesting one. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) suggests that some individuals have ruminative thoughts or compulsive behaviors to the extent that they interfere with everyday life and so treatment is indicated. However, there are likely individuals that have compulsions but who manage them so that they are not a particular problem--just something to live with. The threshold may look different for someone one on the inside trying to handle an issue and someone on the outside who observes this behavior. Another question might be whether social norms are violated--for instance--someone who steals compulsively.. . . .
