Does character really skip a generation?

Question

The father in "Legends of the Fall" thinks about how manly and heroic his son Tristan is and realizes that he reminds him of his own father - who was manly and heroic.

Then he aks himself if it is true that character skips a generation, that every other generation is born bland, faceless, unremarkable.

Is that true and how do you know if you're that generation? How do you know if you have character, that you aren't just a name that will be forgotten, squeezed between legendary figures? Is there any way to know?

And what do you do if you suspect that you are the generation without character, no more than an empty set of clothes?

Answer 1

Character doe skip a generation. But you have to remember that all are not heroes or great men. So even after skipping a generation the person remains ordinary. India s great astrologer late Dr B.V.Raman was the grand son of another Great astrologer B.Suryanarayan Rao.B.V Ramans father was just normal individual. It is the practices , habits and temper etc which get repeated after one generation gap. My son is just like my father in his way of living. If you are squeezed between two legendary figures that is just you bad luck. But that does not make you characterless.

Answer 2

No ailment has a set development for skipping generations. it surely relies upon on no count if the mothers and fathers do or have not got recessive or dominant genes of their genome. It basically appears like it rather is skipping generations. besides, you need to use hemochromatosis, which kills you by potential of rusting you from the interior out, yet it rather is a nicely common and curable ailment now. If the e book became into set back earlier the 1990's, it would be extra possible. it rather is uncommon in women too.

Answer 3

I think it all depends on the family you are brought up in. Just because one person tells you that you don't have true character that is only their opinion.

The question is - How do you feel about yourself? That's all that matters - The heck with what everyone else thinks!

Answer 4

Depends on where you push yourself, but you won't know until sadness, isolation has been forced on you. We're all self-serving, but not all of us seek knowledge or truth about the nature of our being. Sometimes we get comfortable, and don't move forward. Are you comfortable with where you are? If not then you're going somewhere at least.

Answer 5

i cannot confirm that.

i myself am pretty much like my father in character, though i have become a different person.
i am very unlike my grandfather though.

Answer 6

Parents tend to give their children that which they didn't have themselves (peace, quiet, adventure, affection..)

Children tend to try and differentiate themselves from parents, in order to discover their individuality..

That explains it..

Answer 7

yeah...my three siblings have no character or compassion...their just drones for greed...

I have character because I didn't become one of them...
