Normally people will want to succeed things that have been done before, want to do things better, make things greater. And if possible, achieve things that people said impossible earlier. It instills a wonderful sense of accomplishment when you really did it, makes one feel euphoric and fantastic. Thus they may feel that tradition is not as good, tradition is restricting, tradition should just be a thing in history not real life. As a result, we have read about earth-shattering historical moments when people want to remove tradition completely out of people's life.

I have to say I do agree to some extent, but not absolutely. As mentioned before, I believe those earth-shattering historical moments did have their pros. The people did benefit in some way, the society did progress somehow or rather, things did change. But along with them, the cons seemed to have a long-lasting negative impact.

Tradition may not be a good thing, it may stop us from being creative and coming up with new things that could improve our lives and the way we do things. But it doesnt mean to throw it away totally, ignoring it completely, stereotyping everything with it as negative.

If you cannot come up with a better way of doing things as yet, or have tried other methods which do not seem to work, why not just stick with the good old ways? It is very tiring to always try to think of new ways to do things just because you dont want to follow the old way. If following the old way has more to gain and nothing to lose than not doing it, why not just follow tradition?
