RE: The Tradition of the Vultures
It's sad because it's a misuse of a tradition that wouldn't be so bad if people truly sympathized with the loss of their family and attended prayer services for the eight days prior, not just when the food is distributed. Furthermore, one can be poor but still maintain dignity and not send children out to beg for food when their parents are healthy and strong enough to work.
It loses the meaning for the tradition. People probably won't decline if the children were the one begging. Easier for their parents.
Yes, it's a pity. Nobody should need to beg for food, but poverty is common in my country 😞
Sadly it's the same thing here too.
