Each stage of life has its own importance and values so it is not a bad idea to spend time and money on studying family history but we should not forget that about our upcoming generation. This essay will discuss both views and give my opinion favoring the better viewpoint.
Life of our ancestors plays a vital role in our daily activities. Everything we have done and we are about to do can be something similar what our ancestors did. We might be repeating same thing. So if we dive deep into our family history then we can learn about our origin. Knowing who we are can help us to be positive. For instance, if a person learns about his family’s history then he will be able to amend his family’s mistake. But it is not a great idea to completely focus in it. Learning about our parent’s background is only better when it’s done in limit. A case in point, a person spends all his savings in learning past of his family then he might lose sense of present. So it is good to study about parent’s past if he knows what he is searching for otherwise it can be a total waste.
For future generation, their life style and the way they are living can be improve if we start focusing on them. What we are doing right now should not be the reason which may affect our upcoming generation. In fact, the future of unborn are in our hand. We have the responsibility of providing a better life for them, however, if we try too much to improve their future then it might encourage them to be lazy and inactive. For example, if a person spends all of his income and savings on improving his decedent’s carrier then it may lead them to be fully dependent on their parents.
In conclusion, studying about family’s history and improving future generation is a temporary thing which is good up to an extent only. In my view, it is more important to maintain a balance between histories and future.
