We progress through life as a culture and individuals. The passing of time shifts the importance of ephemera and we let momentos go. Tastes evolve—clothing, hairstyles, music, and other material and spiritual things are cast aside and replaced by that which reflects who we are here and now. Even more challenging is when some of us must cast aside our nationalities, our homes, our family, and our friends. Some of us shed traits that served a particular age, and some of us are able to let go of mental and emotional anxieties and traumas that have eased with time. With great effort we cast away our preconceived notions, our biases, and even our world views. As a culture we agree on letting go of archaic, racist, and sexist attitudes. We believe that these decisions will create a stronger healthier community, only to be revised, released, and replaced again over time.
