we are our ancestors/Soldiers for peace (s4p)
“In conversations with Pete about “we are our ancestors” I have come to see how our past affects our future, and how we are both our past and future.
“Soldier for peace” is about the actions we take in the present, particularly with the lessons of “we are our ancestors” in mind. Many people my age or younger have strenuous, toxic relations with their family and ancestors. It can make us feel ashamed of our family and family history. In my mind this is an important message for young people to hear about because our ancestry can sometimes feel like a weight holding us down, instead of a lesson that can propel us forward”
