Tradition

If you've ever seen The Fiddler on the Roof, ok stop snickering my mom made me watch it and it wasn't half bad, you'd know that tradition is a pain in the ass and hurts more than it helps. Plus I had no idea what that fiddler was doing on the roof. Or whose roof it belonged to. But that's not important.

The important thing is how mainstream religion has taken tradition to the point of where its equal to the bible itself. Tradition simply means its been done year after year. There's no opinion implied there. No "we've done it so long you know it must be right!". No whether you want to or not doing something over and over again is called tradition. I call it routine.

Its a shame church is always on Sunday. Due to that I can never go. Though the fact is sometimes I don't want to go. And usually when I do go I sleep through it. Then its like a lame version of Simon Says without any of the skill. Please Rise. Please be seated. Please rise for this hymn. All 12 verses of this hymn. This hymn the organist has no clue how to play and the congregation wouldn't have a clue where to start for the melody. Dang it took me a while to think of the word melody. Guess I won't be a musician. Then again my idol Max Weinberg never uses music.

I have no idea how I got on Max Weinberg but that really doesn't matter anymore. Tradition stinks, do things for you own reasons not because so old guy decided it was fun to do and got stuck in a rut.
