Staying True to Their Roots

[Amagine]

Our roots make us who we are. We can change and adapt to our every-changing world without leaving our roots behind. Sticking only to your roots, can sometimes leave you stuck in the past.

This is a true assertion!

Our roots are definitely important.

I respect and envy those who have strong cultural roots. They know who they are and can take comfort in the traditions. William and Myra are proud of their heritage, even if to the world they are disadvantaged. Most of us don't have that sense of community, being crosses from different cultures, belonging to none, swaying with the changing fads of so-called Western civilistions

Coming from someone with a stong bond to my cultural roots, I agree with you. I know who I am - on both my maternal and my paternal sides, as they have different cultural backgrounds -and very much take comfort in traditions. I have a strong sense of community. My husband and I are supportive of each other's culture, as we are from different backgrounds as well, and raise our children with emphasis on all sides.

We must always stay connected to home. To our roots. Because home is where the heart is.

Our pasts, and that of our ancestors, can definitely play a huge part in who we become.

When you know your roots, it gives a sense of belonging and you can also see how you fit into a larger world

That's true

My dad taught me where my paternal last name came from and I learned by my grandma about my maternal last name's history. I think roots are important. They are and always will be a part of us, so we must stay true to them.

Yes, we shouldn't forget our culture or where we come from. But we should also be mindful of others.

[Mercelle]

Home is where the heart is. So yes, the characters were very much justified in staying true to their roots.

Well said.. i like this saying of Home is where the heart is
Justification does properly in this story.

I agree. We still need to have respect for other people's culture and traditions.

Staying true to our roots and traditions is important. It connects us to our culture and our past.

It's important to remember who you are and where you come from. If everybody forgot their roots, we would all be the same thing, believing in the same thing. Our roots give us individuality.

And they give us stability. They help us know who we are, even if we are not always faithful to those primary beliefs. They give us a sense of belonging and family, and there is something about knowing that your history extends so far back into history. You are more than just this moment that you are living in.
