“As long as our ancestors are still suffering within us, we cannot be truly happy. If we make a step with awareness …, we do this for all the past and future generations. They all arrive at the same moment we arrive and we all find peace at the same time.”- Thich Nhat Hanh
The body is inherited from our parents and ancestors. Therefore, emotions must be inherited as well. If that is the case, then how are we responsible for our emotional afflictions? Are we even responsible? And if not, are we therefore now responsible (as in able to respond) to make a change, stop the madness of our emotions controlling us? And therefore literally change our DNA for the new generations? Something to ponder ....
