ot be satisfied. Then another taboo will be broken, but this also will not quench the desires of the rebellious, who do what they do not for any independent purpose, but only from a desire to break traditions and taboos and to be different than their forebears. But there is no satisfaction in rebellion, only in obedience. Obedience not to some alien divinity, not to some social supremest, not to the blind devotion of parental mandates, but obedience to common sense, to practicality, to morality. For a taboo is not formed by any one person, instead it is slowly built up upon the experiences of many, experiences which show that when one thing is done, suffering is what follows, and when another thing is done, happiness is what follows. Of course there are a few, isolated taboos that are based instead on human prejudices, but that doesn't translate into the abandonment of all the experience of precedents. What comes when there are no longer any taboos and traditions to break? Destruction. F TRADITIONS AND IT WILL NOT BE SATISFIED THEN ANOTHER TABOO WILL BE BROKEN BUT THIS ALSO WILL NOT QUENCH THE DESIRES OF THE REBELLIOUS WHO DO WHAT THEY DO NOT FOR ANY INDEPENDENT PURPOSE BUT ONLY FOR A DESIRE TO BREAK TRADITIONS AND TABOOS AND BE DIFFERENT THAN THEIR FORBEARS BUT THERE IS NO SATISFACTION IN REBELLION ONLY IN OBEDIENCE OBEDIENCE NOT TO SOME ALIEN DIVINITY NOT TO SOME SOCIAL SUPREMEST NOT TO THE BLIND DEVOTION OF PARENTAL MANDATES BUT A OBEDIENCE TO COMMON SENSE TO PRACTICALITY TO MORTALITY FOR A TABOO IS NOT FORMED BY ANY ONE PERSON INSTEAD IT IS SLOWLY BUILT UP UPON THE EXPERIENCES OF MANY EXPERIENCES WHICH SHOW THAT WHEN ONE THING IS DONE SUFFERING IS WHAT FOLLOWS AND WHEN ANOTHER THING IS DONE HAPPINESS IS WHAT FOLLOWS OF COURSE THERE ARE A FEW ISOLATED TABOOS THAT ARE BASED INSTEAD ON HUMAN PREJUDICES BUT THAT DOESN'T TRANSLATE INTO THE ABANDONMENT OF ALL THE EXPERIENCE OF PRECEDENTS WHAT COMES WHEN THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY TABOOS AND TRADITIONS TO BREAK DESTRUCTION
