As a result of continuous scientific advances, especially in the field of biotechnology, the meaning of life and one’s personal identity will inevitably be changing. To think, 50 years from now, at least in the West, most human beings will have had an organ transplant and will be using prostheses, so their feelings and emotions will also have undergone radical change. I predict, in this regard, that blood and family ties will disappear, and that the idea of the family as it was understood in the 1900′s will totally vanish.
Looking at myself personally and as a writer: I’ve always tried to stay ahead of the times, and I’ve never felt bound by blood or family ties or been reduced to conformity or slavish imitation of patterns imposed on me by current societal norms. Instead, I’ve been free and creative. Orientlng myself unfalteringly toward my spiritual vision of God and in the spirit of truth, I’ve favored consistency, integrity, and humility. That’s how I recognize my family, and corrupt, temporal power never succeeded in enticing me away from it. I don’t know why. I don’t think it was due to my courage, but rather thanks to divine blessing and protection. Predestination.
