Took the following from a book I read.
Basic message: Question traditions, break conventions, and live by your own rules. One should live a life of authenticity, rather than conform to top-down imposed expectations.
Unless of course, your authenticity are those expectations. Well, not me.
"Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in Literary Ethics in 1938,
What a beautiful thought. Stay with tradition and you ensure that you'll always be the same, but toss it aside, the world is yours to use creatively as you choose.
Become your own judge of your conduct and learn to rely on yourself to make present-moment decisions. Cease leafing through a lifetime of policies and traditions for an answer. Sing your own song of happiness in any way you choose, oblivcious to how it is supposed to be."
