"La tradición es la ilusión de la permanencia."
— Woody Allen

Simplified Meaning:
Tradition makes us feel like things will stay the same forever, but this is not true. For example, think about how people used to write letters by hand and send them through the mail. This was a tradition for many years, but now most people use emails or texts instead. Even though letter writing felt like it would always be around, it changed over time. Traditions can give us comfort because they feel stable, but everything changes eventually. Recognizing this can help us adapt to new ways of doing things and be open to change in our lives.
