I’m tired of being “politically correct” … echoing sterile cultural memes like Merry Christmas … Happy Birthday … Shalom and so on.
Perpetuating cultural traditions has merit … yet … from time to time worn out memes should be modernized … rejuvenated.
Reflecting on this thought taught me just how difficult it is to think of something original to say … while protecting the “spirit” of the cultural heritage. With the passing of time rigor mortis of the mind sets in?
I remembered a quote from Ste Bernadette … “They loved each other tenderly” … she was referring to her parents.
“Love each other tenderly” seems to fit with the ‘spirit’ of Christmas.
