All our ancestors lived to deliver us here. They worked and they fought and they did their best through the centuries, through the millennia, to survive and prosper enough to bring at least one child into the world and they gave that child a start in life that was good enough for them to eventually have a child of their own.
Our ancestors and all their efforts to help another generation survive resulted in us: we didn’t spring into existence out of nowhere. None of us can take credit for our existence and none of us can escape the debt owed to those who came before. We pay it back by recognizing that long line of people behind our existence, by living in a way that respects them and the sacrifices they made, and, if we have kids, by giving another generation the best start we possibly can.
