The preservation of your family’s history and traditions is one of the most important things. I’m the only one in the family with a desire to learn of my family history from my grandmother, and I have a lot of friends who don’t care or can’t wait to cut ties and never return for a holiday. It’s one of the few things that hurts the deepest part of my soul. I’d rather carry the history of my ancestors on my back than let their sacrifices fade.
The only way you could change my mind is by proving reminiscence, nostalgia, history, tradition, and familial blood is utterly useless to a person, and even then I’d struggle to come to terms with it.
