Thus far, I have never thought of inheritance and living to benefit from someone else's lifetime achievement and to be sincerely I feel paradoxical about it. But thanks to inkwell the thought just crossed my mind and I would like to share my bit.

I sat for hours thinking about this topic and hardly found the words to write. From the inception of my growth till date all I ever thought about was to make myself,parents and the upcoming generation or lineage proud of me and never expecting anything in return. The world globally is not what it was and civilizations have evolved passing on from one generation to another, century upon century and the legacies that have been passed on have either become myths or legends, others become bed time stories but those are more remembered more than material things. Do not get it twisted, material items and wealth are paramount in the survival of every individual and with it some powerful names have existed and still existing.

All I am preaching is the perception that inheritance does not only lye in material items and wealth gained from predecessors but also in the ability to touch as many lives as possible physically,mentally, spiritually and psychologically. The legacy and inheritance I want to leave behind is to be more than just a wealthy man with enough properties for my children and generation to live by,but rather be among the great names that will be mentioned and missed when the call of nature comes.
Thinking about it now and having to write down my epistle here makes me realize that I might have not done enough to fulfill this desires of mine and hope God grants me the strength to do better. Don't really care toomuch about what I inherit from my parents as long as there is so much love and happiness to go round.
