Is Tradition Righteousness?

       We have seen many people follow traditions as righteousness or maybe you own think the same, but if we think deeply we can understand that traditions are nothing but methods that are followed by people in order to live their life in a disciplined mannered. However following traditions every time might make you go in a wrong path.

     

       Traditions have methods so that people can follow them together for maintaining sociality and to create good relations. And this blindness can cause many problems which we find in our surroundings. There is no method to be righteousness, it's all about taking right decisions leaving the greediness and selfishness behind.

For example It is said that killing someone is wrong, but what if our soldiers accept this life value? So does that mean our war heroes were wrong? The answer is definitly not! Killing someone in order to protect innocents or ending evil is not wrong, but obviously this doesn't give anyone else the right to harm others. Because we have other options and knowing this is knowing the rightousness.

      Now some people have been taught to donate something in front of god. This is good enough till the person has money or something else he wishes to donate, but if someone is unable to do the same he thinks he might not fulfill his desires. And sometimes in fear many people tend to spend their last earnings on god. There is difference between believing in god and maintaining relationship with god.

      Righteousness is not always easy to follow because it changes with situations. Sometimes following the right path requires to break some traditions.
