    Customs and traditions are changing and presently at a fast pace. Our mindsets too are changing. I feel that what's important are some universal principles and values; and the basic integrity of the person irrespective of whatever kind of life or belief he or she may prefer to choose. This understanding is the key to solve many of our problems. We need to think out of the box and be unfettered and unconventional in our approach to solve our problems. Afterall what are customs and traditions for?; unless they can be renewed with newer interpretations to suit our times. And they greatly affect/influence our interpersonal relationships.

    The westerners seem to be apparently free from much of the past and more open to new ideas. But then they are so individualistic that relationships again are a big issue for them too.

    The reason is we forget to follow basic human values. The idea behind our customs and traditions was perhaps to deeply embed these values in our psyche. But they have taken on a negative hue.

    It's time we are reminded again of our values instead of mere mechanical external observation of formalities. I believe there is nothing sacrosanct in these customs and traditions. What is important is being a good human being. And forget everything else. This one step can not only wipe out a whole lot of negative issues raised in this forum but also improve our relationships with everyone around.

    Customs and traditions make life beautiful and meaningful as long as we restrict them to ourselves, when one starts enforcing them on others it becomes regression and this only creates friction and turmoil in our lives.
