Modernity is kind of a tradition and tradition itself is not a rulebook. It's a dialogue and a dialectical process– just as tradition affects us, we too affect tradition and culture, and we change it.

About This Quote

A tradition is something that has been passed down through the generations. It is what is known as the wisdom of the past. It is usually defined as a set of unwritten rules or unwavering practices that have been observed over many years. A tradition, in this sense, makes up the foundation of our society.
