Previously on "We're all just a continuation of our family line"
I thought I was an individual and I always valued indviduality. Like most teenagers I vowed that I would "...never be like my parents".
Thought I could rise higher.
But after years of experience, studying psychology, and self-analysis... I realise I am very similar to my parents.
I don't think we are truly individual. We are really just a continuation of our family line. To use a metaphor, we can try to redirect the flow, but it's still the same river with the same source.
Are your parents brother and sister? I ask because you seem to be saying you have one family line, whereas most of us have two. My parents came from different parts of the country, so to whatever extent I take after my parents I take some from one and some from the other. And they came from two parents, who came from two parents, etc. etc. I don't know how anyone can talk of belonging to one family line.
Evolution* is cool like that.
*Or the grand plan of the magic sky fairy if that's your thing.
We change as we get older. The more radical changes occur when we are younger. I don't believe that I will believe in what I believe in now in 10 years time.
