A Quote by Carl Gustav Jung on parents, children, ancestors, karma, and fate

I feel very strongly that I am under the influence of things or questions which were left incomplete and unanswered by my parents and grandparents and more distant ancestors. It often seems as if there were an impersonal karma within a family which is passed on from parents to children. It has always seemed to me that I had to answer questions which fate had posed to my forefathers, and which had not yet been answered, or as if I had to complete, or perhaps continue, things which previous ages had left unfinished.

I agree to a certain extent…we are prodducts of what we “live”….within the family structure…there is always..going to exist “some programming in us…by our family environment”….I believe…at some point we discard that which is different for the “programming”…and do our “own”…we are masters of our own destiny…no matter…how many wrong turns..good ones…all in the experience***
