The following is my personal opinion:
If we remain orthodox, and do not keep pace with the changing times of the modern world, we lose opportunities of expanding our minds and adding new dimensions to our experiences and in the process we remain where we were centuries ago; and though we might be able to justify our behavior, in the name of freedom of thought (due to our respect to customs, and conventions); often this turns out to be a lazy proposition; we remain like a frog within a well, who thinks it is swimming in a huge ocean.
