Traditions passed down to keep you from your potential - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Speak on any traditions passed down that keep people from their potential.

I'll start off:

A guy has to only be with one woman in an intimate relationship. Said who from when?

And if a guy wants to be with more than that one woman he'd have to keep the women unaware of each other. It shouldnt have to be like that that you'd have to keep them unaware of each other just because of some moral tradition passed down that you just know got people's minds enslaved to some BS. Like damnit, open your minds up people! Stop continuing those traditions just because they're planted in your head as being moral and accepted nationally! Break free from the mental enslavement of the past and present kept traditions of others.

A person can only marry one person. And it's till death do you part for when you can then marry yourself another. It not only shouldn't be that you're allowed only one to marry till death do you part...it shouldn't even be that you should believe that you have to get married to begin with. Why follow a tradition? Moral related traditions have only brought on a sense of guilt that shouldn't even come to be in your mind to begin with.

Could marriage be apart of the reason people think there can only be a couple/pair/duo/twosome (two people) in a relationship and not, say, a threesome/trio (three people) or a quadruple/foursome (four people) or etc in a relationship?

Because of moral related traditions there has been a stop to the rise of kingly men and queenly women amongst.

In my book a king gets to have, to serve himself however he wants, more than one woman that get to be aware of each other.

Hell, women like making and having many other women friends anyway, so how on earth could any woman oppose 'being with' ('belonging to') a king like that? Plus, what woman wouldn't love flashy things and a beautiful home to top it off which can be obtained with combined income?

If it werent any enslaved minds to the BS traditions that make people so restricted more of us would be living in mansions by now with incomes combined of most or all of the people involved in the relationship. Nowadays it'll sure take more than two to make it with speed. Yeah, the utopian dream can never be reached because of what traditions, started from religions, embedded in the minds of people (which includes even people who arent even religious--You know there are some still as mental slaves to traditions though they don't belong to a religion).

Well first of all, there are still people who believe and partake in bigamy and polygamy, as well as "open relationships", so not everyone is being "kept from their full potential" as you put it.

Something I think has held back potential, in the same vein, is romanticism. The concept of romance has increased the expectations of many people in regards to relationships and sexual activity, and has also made it more complex than it has to be. Hand in hand with romanticism are the dreaded women's magazines such as Cosmo and whatever else. These magazines have relationship and sex advice written, quite evidently, by stupid, self-involved nincompoops that wouldn't know a testicle from a tootsie pop. I should add that many men's magazines are the same way (Maxim, FHM, Stuff), in that all of these magazines cause people to overthink sexual and emotional relationships to the point where it's corrupting society. I also blame Oprah.
