Are traditions important?

  At first, in order to answer this question we need to define what traditions are and which part they act in our lifes.
  So, it is some kind of activities that are passed on from generation to generation in the certain group of people. They exist for centuries under the sun. There are great variety of traditions. They can be as family's as worldwide's. In my opinion, the main point of traditions is to give us a sense of belonging. They provide us entertainment, creat a fun and memorable ceremony for people to come together. E.g. family's traditions help you to become closer to your relatives. Many of them came to stay in our routine that some people may not realize that they deal with tradition.
  In conclusion, we can say firmly that traditions are really important. Moreover, they help us to enrich our spiritual world.
