the inheritance you didn't choose but somehow keep paying interest on
means The traditions, property, culture, or qualities passed down from previous generations and regarded as part of who you are.
from From Old French 'heritage,' built on Latin 'hereditare,' to inherit, which traces back to 'heres' — an heir. The same Latin root grows into 'heredity,' 'inherit,' and 'heir' itself, all clustered around the idea of what one generation hands the next, whether goods, land, or burdens.
