Worthy of it

After my blog on how my two great great great grandfathers (as in generation) built the museum I found out that inham is actually a very distantly related uncle or may be even grand uncle. The fact that I don’t know how many other relatives have been misplaced and would never be known to have existed, doesn’t really seem to have all that an impact on me. Tracing back the generation is sure hard and my cousin says he’s actually going to continue the book about the ancestry that’s been coming down. We would never know for sure all of it, but how far does it really matter?

In most nations it is even illegal to ask for the date of birth at an interview. Why then should we bother tracing back family and people and origins if it really doesn’t matter anymore? The question is how far does it influence who you are? Do I really get preference in anything for having a well known and respected gay name? Yeah right, I sure don’t wana depend on someone else’s good name to get me my own recognition. Recognition of course is important but it must come from purely within yourself. As much as this should be practised within ourselves it must be applied to others as well. To me a person’s qualifications behind his name or the status he belongs to, has absolutely no relevance or influence on my opinion of the person concerned. And tell me please what is wrong in not respecting those who are not worthy of it even if they be somebody great and important to the whole world!
