Traditions

I wanted to do this week’s blog over the importance of tradition and how we are slowly drifting away from a lot of or traditional roots. I feel that over time yes you should be able to change different traditions, but none the less you need to keep some sort of tradition going.

                Part of the reason I feel so strong about tradition is because of my family. It is wrather complicated and annoying so I will not get into detail about it. My family is split into three separate branches. We all share different outlooks but keep traditions. Although they may not be the same traditions or just little ones. We still have them.

                For one of the traditions that my part of the family dose is we hold a family reunion every year and our family sport is old school kickball. Just a small little thing that my family has kept for about one hundred years. I feel that as the people start to grow older they lose this traditional outlook. This is sad. For me it gives you a sense of pride and a family bond.

                I would like to say this does not even have to relate to family traditions this could relate to anything culture, religious, even personal traditions. I would like to believe that if a person really wanted to they could even create their own traditions to pass on to family or friends. I feel like it is a lost bond between people in today’s world.

  1. Fascinating. You're going to have to be the one to keep these traditions alive. That's the role I have in my family, too.
