Lately I’ve been imagining a scenario where, in heaven, all of my ancestors are sitting around a table. A projector starts playing my entire life up to this point.
Everything is shown — all my problems, thoughts, insecurities, emotions, and experiences. Nothing is hidden. They can see not just what happened, but how it affected me internally, how I thought about it, and how I coped with it over the years.
After watching it all, they discuss among themselves for a while. Then I enter the room, sit opposite them, and they tell me what they think about me and everything I’ve been through.
From what I know, my family line consists largely of alcoholic farmers, which isn’t surprising given that they were Estonian and lived through the grim reality of Soviet occupation. A lot of hardship, endurance, and coping through alcohol seems to run through the generations.
I often wonder what they would think of my situation, my struggles, and the way my life has turned out so far.
So I’m curious — if your family or ancestors had full access to everything about your life and inner world, what do you think they would say to you?
