Past

Is it possible to cut your ties to the past and start over in celebration and not despair? It has to be, people do it often. It would seem that it is done to escape. Escape the weight of what has come before. But, rebuilding is hardest with the support of the past.

The old is familiar and comforting. You can always look back and reminisce about what was. You also have to see what wasn't. There is also the process of building connections so as you can transcend your individual limitations. If you destroy that, then you are back to fighting alone with no allies.

All of humanity should be your ally. That seems to imply that humans should only live for themselves, which is wrong.

This is all trying to hearken back to why tradition needs to be explored and, possibly, destroyed. Why not just overall all the outdated ways of thinking? If useful, then old traditions will be re-adopted. The wasteful traditions will be abandoned for the betterment of all.

The problem of individual rebirth still remains.

Sorry

I have been working out some bugs on my new computer, so I have failed to post recently. New posts to come soon.
