Today is Karva Chauth
It is a day when traditionally Hindu women fast for long life of their husbands.Husband helps the wife break her fast by giving her the first sip of water and morsel of food.
But men are rushing madly to their homes to help break their wives fast. They have been hollered by their wives (on mobile) as Moon just came out.Some women are restless throughout the day. It looks more like a restriction imposed on them and the Moon liberates them from the punishment.
Which brings me to my question: Which is more important logic or tradition?
The logic behind keeping the fast is a strong relationship involves some adjustments and Keeping fast for a day gives a feeling of making a little sacrifice for your partner.Thus strengthening the relationship and appreciation for each other.
While the blind following of tradition says : "This has always been done. So we do it whatever the discomforts"
Which approach is better?
You choose!
