We've always been fascinated by the stories of kings who derived their power from their ancestors. In the past, this power was often visible and tangible, passed down through generations like a precious heirloom. But in today's world, it's no longer obvious. Or is it?
I'd like to propose that this natural process hasn't vanished; it's simply evolved. The power of our ancestors now manifests in the qualities that make us who we are: our character, intelligence, and personality. It's a molecular-level phenomenon, where every instinct, every trait, and every tendency is a part of our ancestral heritage.
Consider the humble green vegetable, which draws its energy from the sun. Similarly, our very existence is rooted in the molecular combinations of our ancestors. Carbon molecules don't disappear; they simply recombine into new forms. This is the math of molecular legacy.
So let's take a moment to acknowledge and praise our ancestors, our grandparents, and our parents. Just as the people of Wakanda honor their ancestors and the power of the Black Panther, we too can tap into this ancestral energy.
By embracing our heritage, we can unlock the secrets of our past and harness the power that resides within us. It's a power that's been passed down through generations, waiting to be rediscovered and celebrated.
