In your opinion, what should be understood in general and in the abstract by "tradition"?

Tradition, tradition! Tradition!
Tradition, tradition! Tradition!
Who, day and night, must scramble for a living,
Feed a wife and children, say his daily prayers?
And who has the right, as master of the house,
To have the final word at home?
The Papa, the Papa! Tradition.
The Papa, the Papa! Tradition.
Who must know the way to make a proper home,
A quiet home, a kosher home?
Who must raise the family and run the home,
So Papa's free to read the holy books?
The Mama, the Mama! Tradition!
The Mama, the Mama! Tradition!
This brings warm tears to my eyes, the brutality that we have all sustained, acknowledged or non, that has destroyed most all semblance of health, balance, and calm, loving sanity, and The Family, and the worthy traditions shared within.
I know that these are not mere pipedreams, as I may still witness hidden pockets of such, though all is to appear as rapidly dwindling.
I'm very tired of having to be indignant, and of maintaining the will to shed a worthy tear or two. At least I don't wear myself out faking this life, and would rather wear myself out in this way, if I must choose between a soft, false life, or a tortured Real Life.
I must not allow myself to be reduced in the manner that those aligned with wickedness would have me be.
I must persevere til the (bitter?) end.
It seemed like youthful rebellion to scorn tradition.
But now that everyone has done it it's a bit too late to bring it back, because it's gone.
