According to Buddha

Our present existence is the sum of all they did, and we are the starting point for our descendants. All that our ancestors did reflects on us, and all that we do reflect on both our ancestors and descendants. One’s life is not entirely one’s own; it contains the past and conceives the future, and should therefore be lived with great care.

long live the pioneers
rebels and mutineers
go forth and have no fear
come close and lend an ear
