Traditions are mostly useful. But let us explore the ones that aren't so useful. The type of tradition that is for tradition sake. The ones that are generally referred to when confronted as "we've always done things that way."
Why are we so tied to them? Why do we allow them to effect the way in which we do things when all they are, are roadblocks to moving forward? Do we use them as crutches to force us to stay they way we wanted to be? Is it some nostalgic why to inhibit progress of any type?
We should all be evaluating the traditions in our life that help us and the ones that hurt us. We should all view them as if we are an outsider and really look at their importance. Do they help or hurt? Do they wax or wane? Do they progress or regress?
