作文:
Hidebound by Tradition
Tradition is something that we hold dear, but it can sometimes become a binding force that holds us back. We are often hidebound by tradition, fearing the unknown and hesitant to break from the mold. However, we must remember that tradition is not always right, and we must be willing to challenge it and create new norms. Without the courage to break free, we may never discover our true potential or unlock the doors to new opportunities. On the other hand, embracing tradition can be a source of strength and stability in times of uncertainty. It can provide us with a sense of belonging and connection to our past, while also guiding us towards a brighter future. In the end, it is up to us to determine how much we are hidebound by tradition and how much we are willing to let go and embrace change.
