Children inheritance: Blessings and Curses

The way our existence in this world is designed always brings up questionable ideas because many things are not balanced with regard to one's destiny. When we delve deeper, we often arrive at a conclusion that has been generalized as: "Humans have different destinies and grace."

This topic is one I have argued many times with people, and in the end, we could never arrive at a fully explainable point. Hence, we settled on: "Humans have different destinies."

If children are to inherit blessings from their parents, what about the curses that follow them due to that bad doings? On the other hand, if children are to inherit the curses of their parents, why can't they inherit the blessings as well?

I decided to separate these two concepts because I have seen both scenarios play out. For instance, there was a family in my village where the men died at a very young age. According to history, this negative occurrence originated from the evil deeds of their forefathers. The stigma is so strong that everyone in the village knows about this family and advises young women not to fall in love or marry into that family. However, the men in the family were financially stable—not very wealthy but comfortable...and this always attracted women to them. WOMEN & MONEY! 😅
According to people's observations, they inherited both blessings and curses, but the curse overshadowed the blessings. Interestingly, after some religious deliverances and ordinances in the family, the chain was reportedly broken. They began to live normal lives. Not all of them became rich as before, but none of them were dying at such youthful ages anymore.

I am not bringing too much religion into play here, but I believe everything related to children inheriting blessings or curses from their parents is tied to the beliefs of the matured children. What do I mean? Personally, I am not deeply attached to these notions. I believe in working hard, being smart, and avoiding trouble as much as possible. I understand that some circumstances seem beyond one's control, where troubles or evils occur independently of one's actions. However, I still think we can overcome these challenges by living well.

For instance, my forefathers had a very bad record in their days. They were brave at a time when bravery was all that mattered to achieve anything. They acquired lands through fights and killings, and they used charms to snatch people's wives without facing challenges. As expected, curses were pronounced on them. To some extent, I observed the effects of these curses on some of my father's relatives. However, many of them broke free—not through religious interventions but by living simple lives and working hard.

Leaving the spiritual aspect aside, let us consider a situation where parents were involved in robbery and drugs, creating numerous enemies. Wouldn’t the evils they committed affect their children, even as the children enjoy the wealth?

Well, this is the world we live in now. People in such categories are aware of the many enemies they have. As a result, they ensure their children are heavily fortified with security even as they enjoy the wealth. A typical example is top political families. These families often face curses and enemies in various forms. They cannot afford to leave their children unprotected. Imagine the children of MY PRESIDENT moving around without security; the anger in people might lead to them being attacked or kidnapped. Lol.
