In smaller cities

In smaller cities, repeating the lives of others is a goal. Establishing continuity gives security and prestige: the doctor who has a son who is a doctor, and who uses his father's office.
In this city, traditions— not in the good sense that traditions can have— are a connection with the past, an affect. But tradition is one thing and conservatism is another. You conserve something that is not alive, something that no longer functions, that is rotten.
If something is alive there is no need to conserve it. Nobody conserves a garden.
