breaking tradition is not cool
Yes.
I break alot of traditions, i wasn't aware that made me cool...
I don't think society views people who break tradition as "cool."
Look! I bought a girl who I wasn't dating a $4000 diamond solitaire. People converged on me and criticized me for it since I wasn't dating her, and since there was no reason for me to believe that she was even romantically interested in me at all.
I went to the jeweler and asked for an "engagement ring," thinking that an engagement ring has a certain thing about it, but it really is just a ring you buy and call an "engagement ring." So, it couldn't have been because of the ring's style. I bought the ring, to give to this girl that I was at least physically attracted to (but not romantically involved with), and everyone criticized it and said I was crazy. It was really dramatic. That is what happens when you break tradition. Oh, and I was also called creepy, a stalker, and her sister snatched my cellphone and deleted her number off of it, even though I was never brave enough to call or text her. My argument was, "How can the price of a gift determine its appropriateness?" but they wouldn't relent.
So, breaking tradition isn't "cool" to everyone.
I am definitely a rebel against conformity, and it's automatic because of lot of traditions are silly and juvenile, but the result has never been great. People don't look at you as a revolutionary, they look at you as weird and rude.
yeah i did..
in our family,a typical filipino family,the tradition was that the parents and relatives must know the person u are engaged with before u got married..
in my case,i was already married when my family met my husband..
i remember talking to my mom abt getting married april of 2006 and all she can say was,we dont know the guy yet,how can u marry him?your grandma will hate u for doing this and ur dad is not saying anything abt this..
but i did..
and im happy that i did marry my husband.. no regrets..
even if i feel the distance/aloofness of my relatives..
the he** i care!
its me whose gonna spend my whole life with him and not them whose just gonna say negative stuff abt my hubby..
is there anything cool about breaking tradition?
Yes!
