We owe all of our inheritance of civilization and culture to the brains of our predecessors. Humility and respect are highly esteemed in Indian culture. Respecting elders and even younger people is held as an essential parameter that defines the level of decency in human beings. This is what I alwsys saw in our family since childhood. I remember an instances, where the i was influenced by different culture and started talking casually, even honour elders. This is when my Dad intervention and corrected my mistakes publicly. There is nothing to feel shame off, as such things alwsys helpnus to correct ourself. Being Decent has a very high regard in social status of Indians, and this is we alway thrive for.
Now, as my Dad is not with us, I always look back and try to grasp, what all things I have inherited from him. No doubt about his stature and social status as he has huge respect in the socity. Because of his compassion for everyone. Thanks to him that I learned many things. But as I try to see what all I inherited from him than it appears I have long way to go. He was gem of a person and inheriting even a certain percentage of his traits will be a boon in my life. But I never see myself even closer to being like him. However, having acsame blood and sharing the same DNA at many ocassion I find myself to be in his shoes.

There were instances that his compassion and helping nature always ends up with loss and same things happens to me. Even getting a loss, he never worried or forced anyone to pay back. Rather he was too open to keep heping others. This made many people to cheat him. And seems the same traits passed on to me. Ever since, I shifted back to my village, I develop a vocal cord to help the needy. Just like my Dad used to do. I am open to help but the parties are not interested to repay back. This already made me incur good amount of loss. But like my Dad never let people to leave empty handed, the same traits transfered back to me. I already involved in many transaction and already beared loss. Hopefully, I will put a check and try to change a bir to avoid more losses.
Inheritance is not just what we receive, but also what you choose to pass on to future generations
