Someone once told me that the children of a person who does wrong are the ones that are punished for it. And it’s true. They will have to deal with the bad name you have created for the family name. They will have to deal with the example you gave them. They will have to heal from the wounds you left them with. They will have to live with the scares and the aftermath.

Look at it even globally, what our ancestors left behind, is what we inherit. The sad racist situation that has been created and seems to be so difficult to change. That is not only because of it not over but also because it, of course, created a chain reaction. You don’t create love with hate. with hate, you created more hate.

And closer to home this lesson I was taught this is just as true. My own children have to deal with the aftermath of decisions I have made. So will the children of everyone else. Genetically we pass on a lot more then we realize just as well. Our traumas for example.

We need to heal ourselves to give our children the strength they need and to be better people then we where. We need to give them the best of ourselves that we can. Not a simple task when you realize that so many people in this world are traumatized beyond belief. It’s hard to react in a healthy way to a bad situation when you are traumatized.

I honestly have responded very badly myself too many times. Fear and also not knowing how to deal and act on things or being able to communicate that through well has been big issues for me.
