Most people have forgotten the meaning behind traditional or religious festivals; during festival periods, people nowadays only want to enjoy themselves.

Some people argue that we no longer remember the original meaning of

festivals

and that most of us tend to see them as opportunities to have fun.

Although

enjoyment

is partially crucial, we shouldn’t neglect the value of our

traditions

. Occasionally, people believe that whatever they do in their life, without

enjoyment

, seems meaningless.

That is

why they would like to find happiness

in particular

events,

such

as competitions, holiday activities and

festivals

, including traditional ones.

Instead

of paying attention to

traditions

and religions, they only care about

enjoyment

in

festivals

.

For instance

, in Myanmar in 2019, 80% of Burmese celebrated the local New Year festival called Thingyan in modern festival sites,

whereas

only 15% went to traditional ones. Many senior citizens assumed that it has an enormous impact on local culture in the long term. No matter how

enjoyment

plays a crucial role in our life, we ought to be heritage local culture and

traditions

. In a recent study by Spring University in 2022, every ethnic group across the globe used to have their own culture and

traditions

, but 35% of them had already disappeared because of not being inherited. If we don’t celebrate local

festivals

in traditional ways, we

also

need to mind that it is going to be replaced by modern celebrations and eventually forgotten.

To conclude

,

while

enjoyment

is essential in partial circumstances, celebrating traditional

festivals

also

needs to be maintained.

For

this

reason, people should focus on

traditions

and religions in celebrations rather than defining them as fun.
