Quiroga - 90

 CRADLE OF NEW TRADITIONS

No matter how much you cling, consciously and unconsciously, to certain traditions, for the simple reason that if things were always like this, antiquity would give them dignity, I must inform you that traditions are not eternal, they began at some point, and because they began they must find their end, because the destiny of everything that begins is to have its end.

But, the important thing is not the melancholy left behind by traditions that end, because even though they seemed to us to be eternal and named by the divine hand, what really matters is that traditions also begin. All this to tell you that we all exist, here and now, in the time that will one day be known as the birthplace of new traditions.

This is why, here and now, we bear the weight of traditions that were fundamental structures of civilization, and that for a long time promoted order and the necessary social contracts for the happiness of humanity, but which, not being eternal, have degraded and they no longer fulfill this function, they have become decadent, they no longer serve humanity. Humanity serves these decadent traditions as willing slaves to that which vampirizes it.

And in parallel with the oppression that we impose on ourselves by being guided by degrading traditions, we also behave in search of the best concepts that promote the coexistence of all the differences of our humanity, so that the necessary social contracts respond to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual demands of our humanity, and that this movement takes root in us and in future generations until it becomes an indisputable tradition, which acts and manifests itself through common sense, not needing to be taught, happening spontaneously.
