Throughout history, one of the most important factors for being a distinguished person have been one’s family. Here the question is whether to focus on family history or present and future generations. From my point of view, researching in family history results in knowing yourself better.
By searching through the family history, the events and problems that happened will show up as the personality of the past generations. By inspiring from this, individuals can predict how their going to face the problems and be ready for the upcoming personalities that probably will appear during the time. For instance, it is obvious to me that my personality is changing during the time and it is forming as the same as my father when he was at my age! By searching, the family heritage and values will be found and in my opinion, preserving these values is the duty of every single family member. Finally to prove that family and past generations have lots of impact on life, well-being is another dependent factor! Doctors often research in medical history of the patient’s family to diagnose and predict the health issues.
The other point of view is to focus on current and future generations. Considering this idea if a person ignores its family history and focuses on the next generations, it is possible that the next generations will forget their family and it is not out of sight that this circle will continue until the whole family history gets forgotten.
Finally, the genes in your body are a new edition of your past generations and you can not forget its impact on your life however you do not like it! It is necessary for one’s to do a research in it’s family to find out who were there before him or her and transfer the informations tor the next generations.
