When a young person tells his parents, “This is my body; this is my life. I can do what I want with it” he is only partly right. He doesn’t see that he is the continuation of his parents and of his ancestors before that. This body is not yours alone. It is also the body of your ancestors. Your body is a collective product of your nation, of your people, of your culture, of your ancestors. So you are not strictly an individual. You are partly collective.
