traditional

The people who started traditions like democracy, communism, capitalism, countries, borders, governmental consent and control, patriotism, religion, marriage as a legal institution, the concept of the home team versus the visitors, rules and regulations; the people who started these traditions are all dead. We, the living, are free to start our own world, to shape it as we see fit. So why do these traditions, these thinly disguised lines of division, still exist? Que bono? Who benefits? Who benefits from the continuing division of humanity into separate, manageable units?

Today is the first day of the new year. It could be the first day of a new world...
