About this Quote

This quote by Doug Coupland talks to the absence of interest lots of people have in their household history. It is unusual that many people don't care to understand more about their forefathers beyond three generations. This could be due to an absence of interest in the past, or a lack of access to details about their family history. It could also be because of an absence of understanding of the value of understanding one's family history. Understanding one's family history can provide a sense of identity and belonging, in addition to a better understanding of one's cultural heritage. It can likewise provide insight into the lives of one's forefathers and the battles they dealt with. Knowing one's family history can be an effective tool for understanding the present and making informed decisions about the future.
