While things like that may seem great to you, there may be nothing intrinsically good about them.
Do you eat collard greens /w black eyed peas?
I value these no more than I would anything else of my past, I am not one to miss things simply because they belong to my past or because I'm familiar with them. I value them because I can see how they can be used for good.
As for you how do you know something isn't good or effective unless you've ever tried it? Nothing gets an idea into your head better than reciting it 100 times over. And that is the secret to the success of religion, my decline in faith matched my decline in prayer.
