Manage episode 302139512 series 2833513
#039: The idea of “heritage” deserves its own podcast! Heritage can be defined as cultural traditions, architecture, buildings, language that a people collectively share. Specifically, what is your individual racial/cultural/family history? Where do you come from? Let’s contextualize these things in a way that positively impacts the way we live our lives.
What does your heritage mean to you? Are you a direct descendant of a great king? From royalty or aristocracy? Or from peasantry? Were your ancestors poor farmers? Were they conquered slaves? Were they warriors? Were they criminals? Were they gangsters?
Are you proud of your family or ethnicity?
Are you ashamed? Or indifferent?
Do you ever think about these things?
What lessons or values can we distill from our past?
How can we interpret these things to provide meaning for our day to day lives and for future generations?
These are open-ended questions, with perhaps no right answer, but I’d love to share my thoughts with you as well as hear what you have to think.
