did you ever "break" any of the cultural traditionnal or religious roles that..  

Those traditions and roles are made by man, not God, so I don't fear breaking them. I have worn red to church, or sandals, which has scandalized some of the older ladies!

I'm not religous, I'm a Christian. There is a difference.

I would be interested to know what you did and what catastrophe came of it.

Well, by staying single to this grand old age I have broken some rules but I'm not sure about the repercussion as yet, it all depends on whether I have a happy ending or have my relatives hosting a pity party for me(which I won't need yet, they shall have), and shedding crocodile tears while delighting secretly.

I don't know what my future holds but I intend to be happy anyway, sure it shall make some goals difficult to attain, and some dreams may be needed to be modified a little but I'll get there.
I'll achieve my dream of adopting a whole bunch of kids, my dream of building a Soup Kitchen and homeless shelter, but that shall not be the end of the world, so it will need a bit more time to materialise but it shall materialise, and if I can't formally adopt kids I'm gonna just take care of the care and upbringing of a couple of needy children.
I intend to make a positive difference and I shall. I've stopped measuring my success from another person's perspective, so it should be a good life ahead as far as I can.

I think I've broken most and what I haven't broken I probably don't know about. Anything that makes me have to conform I hate. It's not because I don't like rules, it's more that if those rules confine me, or pigeon hole me then I can't and won't abide by them.

Even cultural traditions get the chop. Thankfully Australia doesn't have a huge gammit of cultural hangups like many other countries do, but it's relative to your own circumstance. The family meme is often the hardest to break out of, yet I've managed to do that too.

My mother had a hard time accepting that I wasn't going to be the dutiful daughter, she was not going to get grandchildren out of me and I was not going to be 'available' to satisfy her emotions. Leaving a career was a big "Oh No". I had a huge argument with my mother, it was pretty graphic trying to get across to her that I could not conform to her ideal. It was very healing in the end, but one could see the catastrophe was unavoidable.

I've definitely taken the road less traveled and it's difficult for family to understand, in fact they don't understand which makes it more lonely. They have accepted however, that I am different!

Religious breakout was extremely liberating having been brought up Catholic in a school environment. There were so many teachings that didn't make sense to me and as for practicing what was being preached, the clergy and nuns alike fell very short of virtuous godlike role models.

Being able to break free of these memes is not easy and most don't succeed. Really most people don't know they are in a meme - it's called being a Sleeper. Being brave usually requires a battle! LOL.

I am not religious, so breaking religious laws isn't such a catastrophe to me. With it, there are universal laws that are also religious, like the ten commandments... I will never break them! This will surly result in a catastrophy.
In my line of work with people, I try to help them break paradigms that society imprints in them. There are many paradigms that stops people from doing things or getting somewhere better in their lives. You might call it cultural traditions - and in that case, not only I "break" them, I also help others make that change.
What did you do that caused such a catastrophe? What was the catastrophe?
