Tradition

Today I took my daughter to the ortho and we listened to the Fiddler on the Roof.

The first few selections were very powerful and made me think of tradition, balance, and praise. These are all powerful components of a fulfilling life. Interestingly... the very comparison of a Fiddler on a roof is the very essence of the balance that men must play in their lives. Traditions help give us solid foundations to work from. A funny line in the introduction to the song "Tradition" is when Tevye talks realizes that he does not know where the tradition of the long string of the prayer shawl has come from. But does it matter? Perhaps, perhaps not. But it is a reminder of their constant devotion to God. Isn't that really what is important. Kind of like a ribbon around your finger to make you remember to remain focused on the big picture that will benefit you and the greater good.

An important theme of the Templar Man.
