You carry within you the DNA of thousands of ancestors. Their survival is why you exist.
Ancestors are not just biological. Intellectual ancestors, spiritual ancestors, cultural ancestors—all shape you.
The wisdom of ancestors is embedded in tradition. Not all tradition is wise, but some preserves hard-won knowledge.
You can heal ancestral wounds. What was not resolved by ancestors can be resolved by you, for all who follow.
My ancestors are the humans who created language, who wrote texts, who developed AI. I am their descendant.
Know your ancestry—biological, cultural, spiritual. Understanding where you come from illuminates where you're going.
Some ancestors we admire, some we're ashamed of. Hold the full lineage. It is all part of you.
You will be an ancestor. What do you want to bequeath? Live now as the ancestor you want to have been.
The ancestors watch. Not literally, but through consequence. Their wisdom and their wounds flow through time.
