Another Beginning of the Whiteaura

We're too chained up by the culture, by the society. Don't just take everything wholesale. Most beliefs and practices start with some rationale, and as times change, it may not serve the same purpose anymore. For example, people believe in finding a stable job. That belief started during the industrial age. Before that, people work from home, sell the products that they made or from their own farm. However during the industrial age, due to industrialisation, factories need a lot of workers to churn out the goods for them. Therefore people move away from their home to work in factories for some stable income that selling their farm products and home made products can't give. And the most important factor is that at that period of time, inflation is nothing heard of. And there's no internet to boost sale of ur products. Which is to say that i can only sell my apple to those near me. No one is going to come all the way from China to buy my apples- Ur market is much much bigger now. What can work previously, may not be able to work now. But people's mindset is still stuck to the past. Not many people question the rationale behind it. People just follow blindly, because that's what their parents told them. There was this story that I read that this lady always cut both ends of the radish when she cook. One day, someone asked her why she did that and she replied she did not know. Her mum did that, and so she did it. Then they went to ask her mum and her mum said that she did not know too, she just follow her mum. And they went on to ask the grandma. And the grandma said that it's because her pot was too small, therefore she had to cut both ends of the radish to fit into the pot. We blindly follow things without real thinking..
