Traditions form when people repeat things long enough and attach them to specific events. They are often thought out to the smallest detail and are passed on from generation to generation. Traditions connect, create bridges and shape culture.
However, everything is built on the same unchanged old story and, therefore, things frequently seem resistant to change. Yet, sometimes things turn out differently than initially thought, and with such fresh perspectives, it’s appropriate to question upholding traditions from time to time.
