If every moment you continue living after someone you died had moved on- does a part of you continue to die with them? Or just for that one circumstance? Do you, yourself- count as writing tradition?
@lucifargundam I'm not sure what you are asking, English is not my native tongue. If you are asking if by writing, I have become a tradition, no. But I do participate in a tradition which is writing. Though I do not consider writing in itself a tradition as it (both writing and language actualy) evolve over time, were traditions do not, because they are ritualistic in nature and most are a snapshot of things from the past. Writing is a vehicle that can describe traditions. 1/2
@lucifargundam With writing you can communicatie about traditions, religions (which are also traditions), recipes, people, politics, love, life, sex, etc. Neither of those usages for writing, turns you in whatever you are describing or writing about (story, letter, whatever), it can make you, at best, part of a tradition or a play or a book/short story.
Then again I am not sure of what you are asking. 2/2.

<<Many people may wish to identify as the vehicle of the traditions- but that was not my point. My apologies again for not being clear earlier.
>>Then again I am not sure of what you are asking.
<<I was only pondering if you might have a more philosophical depth of the definition. Do not worry about it.
@lucifargundam No apologies needed, I like to think, talk and engage in conversation about language, history, traditions, human behaviour and such. Your question is interesting.
<<I was only pondering if you might have a more philosophical depth of the definition. Do not worry about it.
To answer that question, yes I do have a more philosophical depth/take on the definition, it is however not carved in stone, I like your take on it.
