Entry 14, Heritage

  In my dictionary, heritage is something that is passed down to you, from your parents genetically or not. I believe things like, personal traits such as height and looks, culture, habits, moral values and even religion can be considered a heritage. Things like habits and money or religion is somethings that can get rid of. By that I mean that these things can be changed over time, you may lose all the money you inherited from your parents, you may change a religion and stop a bad habit from going on. Things like looks and height will not be changeable, these things are genetically passed down and as an offspring, you cannot avoid the fate of being tall or short, skinny face or fat face. I believe things like culture and religion is more important than any other traits. I believe culture will be something that each generation needs to keep supporting and following the principles, without your own culture, if these cultural values and beliefs vanish, then eventually we will all become the same, every race, every ethnicity, we will all believe in the same things and perform the same tasks. Things like religion shaped my beliefs and some moral values today. I believe that just be a good person, something good will happen to you. Even if something bad happens to me, I take it as an experience, learn and move on from it. Things like this will not be in your school text books, things like moral values and religion will have to be passed down, passed on to your kids and let them know that this is how society works.
