It is not enough to follow tradition without thinking. Consider why this tradition was established in the first place and what was the purpose that the actions were meant to accomplish. Now consider how that purpose can be translated to your present place and how those actions would change adapt. As you set about making that very thing happen, don’t listen to those that refuse to adapt to current conditions. Carry the heart and the purpose of the tradition forward using the tools that meet the field you are walking.
