I don't know why you people hated your own cluture which was used century ago. If you want you can use money after that it's your choice of belief. But what I was told or know is that if you use money to buy stuffs after that, meant that you will be a spender or for that year, does not matter how hard you work, you ain't saving any money.
It's not that long, it's only 3 days. After that you can do whatever you want. It's a cluture things, which our ancestor were used for century and I don't know why we younger age does not follow our ancestor cluture.
Here are 3 reasons we need to learn from own people!
1) A good life is your culture. Your language, your music, the ceremonies, the traditions, the dress. All of that is so vitally important that you must keep it alive. In fact it is the uniqueness of all of us that when blended together brings vitality, energy, power, influence, uniqueness and rightness to the world.
2) Your religion, your spirituality. It helps to form the foundation of the family that builds the nation. And make sure you study, practice and teach. Don't be careless about the spiritual part of your nature, it's what makes us who we are, different from animal, dogs, cats, birds and mice. Spirituality.
3) Your family and the inner circle. Invest in them and they'll invest in you. Inspire them and they'll inspire you. With your inner circle take care of the details.
