ACCEPTING OR REJECTING TRADITIONS AND CULTURES

HEFTY MATTERS

When do we decide to ignore and reject a culture or tradition, or any part of it? This is a massively serious decision and may very well cause us to be cast out of our tribe or nation, even from our family. We may be spurned and rejected, which is a hard battle to fight against. However, we must live with our conscience, we must live with our decisions and if part of a tradition defiles us in any way, it may be preferable to be rejected by our own than to have to live with defilement and follow them into the paths of darkness where the rest of us becomes defiled as well and our lives turn into a misery of confusion, anger and turmoil due to being forced into what we feel and know is not right. We need to do the right thing at all times, regardless of traditions and cultures.
Believe me, when the day of reckoning arrives and darkness comes to accuse us of the wrong choices we made, NOT ONE SINGLE LEADER WILL STAND BY US, NOT ONE TRADITION OR CULTURE WILL PROTECT US, FRIENDS AND FAMILY CAN'T AND WON'T STAND BY US DUE TO THE FEAR OF THE DARKNESS AND OF LOSING EVERYTHING.... BESIDES, THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HELP, EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO....SO....WE STAND TOTALLY ALONE. BUT BEING ALONE WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE IS AN ENORMOUS BENEFIT, BECAUSE IT WILL SAVE US FROM BEING SWALLOWED BY DARKNESS. THE BEST CHOICE IS TO BE CAST OUT SOONER THAN LATER BY DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND PROPER, GIVING US THE STRENGTH TO STAND OUR GROUND. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE IS IMMENSELY POWERFUL....BUT....REMAINS A VERY DIFFICULT CHOICE....
