Traditions are Seldom Lies

Traditions are seldom lies. Traditions reflect people’s deepest beliefs and customs. They have their own truth, don’t they, by their very nature.

Anne Rice in “The Wolves of Midwinter”

Traditions, whether good or bad ones, are reflections of the beliefs, customs, opinions, and history of a society. In a way traditions are truthful portrayals of a society because it is hard to hide in things that are so unconscious.
