I'd like to see what opinions y'all have about traditions. Not any particular traditions, but more about the concept of traditions — doing something because it has been done a long time and some (or many) people have deep feelings about them. Is the fact something is a tradition sufficient reason for maintaining a tradition? Or should traditions serve the ones observing the traditions? What about coerced observance? If a tradition has lost its significance, should we keep on doing it in hopes one day it will become meaningful again? How do you feel about traditions — and traditionalism — fading? Do you thing it IS fading? Have you created your own traditions or do you prefer the old ones?
