Customs

It is difficult to understand that why would one go through the trouble to lie. The simplicity of lie is quite despicable. And so is adherence to customs. When it is far more superior to disdain them.

One kind of people are so afraid, born in poverty, that they follow customs out of fear.

Others follow it to have friends.

Still others follow it with mock jest.

Yet others follow them for form, order.

Therefore one must have healthy respect for customs. Awareness of customs is important and in trading these become patterns :-)
