is it wrong to be 'stuck in the past'

and to cling to old values and traditions? this is me really, i find it hard to adjust to modern life.

That's a personal choice for you, it may be wrong for me but not for you etc...

I like to pick and choose from all periods of history. There's no universal law that we have to be modern in everything that we do.

Depends on what those values are. Some traditions need to to change, others need to be preserved.

It's wrong. It's not productive. It's not sustainable. Unless... you plan to become a time traveler.

@MarkPaul old values and traditions aren’t necessarily bad.

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@Wiseacre That's somewhat true, but unfortunately and perhaps sadly trying to exercise them in the modern world is not productive or sustainable... and it's wrong. This was the case when people tried to apply old values and traditions from the 1890's in the 1920's. It was the case when people tried to apply old values and traditions from the 1920's in the 1950's. It was the case when people tried to apply old values and traditions from the 1950's in the 1960's... and so on at an accelerated rate.

@MarkPaul I see, well, there is always a different way to look at it.

The paradigm has changed. How you adopt to the paradigm is up to you.

Depends what the values and traditions are.
