Quiroga - 149

 THE DEATH OF TRADITIONS

Any traditions, regardless of whether they are promulgated in sacred books or presented as worthy because they are ancient, that when reproduced in behaviors and decisions embarrass you and produce intimate discomfort, you must know (without shame or fear) that they do not deserve to be respected , because you were not born on this beautiful, but scared, planet to suffer, but to evolve by understanding the interdependence of everything and everyone, and to make group consciousness flourish within you and the consequent establishment of bonds of cooperation.

Any traditions that do not serve this purpose deserve to be transgressed, especially those that, armed with ancestral arguments, promote separatism and confrontation between different human groups.

It's worth transgressing these decadent traditions even if it costs you attracting severe and critical looks, and all the stones you'll receive for swimming against the current, for being the soul that sows, here and now, the potential for how civilization will work in the future. .

It is foolish to continue blindly reproducing what worked in the past, if now it only causes discomfort, but it is the type of foolishness that our humanity repeats without ceasing, pretending that it is right, that it is on the victorious side of history, and that its particular God is greater than the others.
