Traditions should be kept

Our world is amazing and so are we. We, humans, are so similar and yet so different in the sense that we have many different ways of behaving, doing things, and, in general, different forms to live life.
As researchers discover archaeological vestiges, lifestyles of ancient civilizations are revealed and we realize that since the beginning of humanity, we have had specific procedures when doing certain things. Those procedures involve certain fixed activities, artifacts, designated places and periods of time. We are so peculiar among other species, that we can affirm that traditions are intrinsic to humans.
Traditions have evolved as time goes on, and some of them are the result of the combination of two or more traditions, as well as the result of subtle changes over time. There are people who act as puritans because they consider traditions to be valid as long as they don’t change. Changes are inevitable since we tend to explore new things. Modern traditions are the consequence of contributions that, little by little, have been accumulating features to finally culminate in our current ones.
What would the world be like without all the richness that traditions provide? Without a doubt, it would be flat, dull and lame, in other words, worse. Traditions are like the soul of every nation, they give each country its respective identity. We need to recognize the importance of protecting our traditions, because they are what we have built over generations, something to be proud of. And what we inherit from former generations has to be treasured as a part of our cultural heritage.
We are often surprised by the ample variety of traditions when we travel abroad and meet a culture different from ours. What is strange to us is completely normal to other communities and vice versa. If we want to have a wider perspective of the world, we need to be open to new people, along with all their differences, and also need to have a profound understanding of the origins of those traditions, that may appear totally foreign to us, but only by comprehending them we can set better conditions for coexistence.
Above all the benefits that traditions give us, there is an important factor that in the immediate term that can help us improve our relationships, and that is the closeness traditions bring alongside their festive vibe. Traditions unite us in such a special manner that they can create stronger bonds between members of our own family.
