#Blessing

Benediction is the social ritual of offering bribes to divinity wrapped in prayers. It serves as a psychic insurance to cleanse the guilt lurking beneath words, and paradoxically, is a magical spell that amplifies emptiness the more it is uttered. At its core, it promises fortune while stoking anxiety and desire for control.

A blessing prayer is an ancient ritual to invoke favor from unseen powers. In truth, it’s a psychological trinket that convinces us we’ve done something by merely voicing our wishes. We chant solemn words believing in salvation, yet end up comforting only ourselves. Behind the sacred phrases, humans manufacture mercy for their own peace of mind.
