Backstory
There’s a fascinating theory that is gaining more credibility. Some scientists now believe that we can inherit memories from our ancestors through our DNA. It’s a beautiful thought, really. No life, however insignificant, was ever lived in vain.
This could explain some mysteries about humanity. Among them…savants, who can are virtuosos without ever having taken a lesson -- deja-vu, a distinct feeling that we've been in a certain situation or location before despite absolute certainty that this wasn't the case -- even addiction or nondescript darkness we can’t seem to escape from.
When I wrote this piece I thought about genetic memory in a different way. What about the legacy that we pass on through our DNA to offspring? If this theory holds weight the way we live our lives can influence countless generations to come, on a genetic level. This is yet another reason to live a conscious existence, to do all we can to become the best version of ourselves.
