Culture, tradition and today.

Whats culture and tradition, these are ways of life that has been eminent among us and that we feel should be the major guideline of the things we do but these rules are a result of what people have been doing, their behaviour, they are acts and what they been seeing others do. Yes, its good to follow the standard of life that already exists but thats when it correlates with the world we living in now, what we do today would be the tradition the next generation would know.
So should one drop the traditions of his people, no, but the world is changing and some things just cant hold again. If I i was to stick to the traditions of my great grand parents i wouldn't be a christian today, i wouldn't be putting on t-shirts, jeans, wouldn't even watch tv, wouldn't be writing this. Its the tradition of where I come from to respect and greet elders, this i still do because no matter the changes respect is still neccessary.
So thats it, lets stick to those that are ok with our world today, and not judge what others do on the basis of tradition or culture, if someone does something thats not ok with the standards we follow lets just correct them and let them know what we feel, but judging on the basis of tradition or culture is not necessary, people made them over time.
