Not really.

Most tradition actually reflects values and belief of what contributes to a well ordered society. Values can change and people can want different things from generation to generations but tradition isn’t really some throw away thing.

Fredrick Hyek wrote about the fence in the pasture problem. Someone was walking in a pasture and can across a fence. They were upset because it was in their way and served no obvious purpose for them. So they knocked it down. Of course the fence was there to mark the boundaries of a land owners property, to keep sheep and cattle from wandering off, and to offer protection to those with in it.

Something to think about.

Hi

I am currently working with GDS. However i am planning to shift to UK.. is it fine that i apply for ey uk externally or there are any restrictions.

Everytime I work on the weekend I get into some sort of fight with my spouse. Anyone else get annoyed when their spouse constantly asks you when you’ll be done working, or asks how much longer you have to work. It annoys the hell out of me. I don’t want be working on a Sunday anymore than my spouse wants me to be working. But I have to. I don’t need reminded that I am disappointing my family in addition to working on the weekend. Am I alone in thinking this? Am I wrong to get so annoyed?
