wealth, money and abandoning duty

Tweet

i have a best friend for more then 10 years. when we were younger, she was different then who she is today. she was more fun type of person, caring, passionate, full of ideas and intelligent. along our way growing up, she started to realise that family and parents play a very important part in one's life. and that one thing is what she is missing. she is not like she used to be. she prefer to be alone most of the time and i could see that she has lost the caring and passionate side of her. its really sad to see a person's attitude change so drastically in not so long period of time. what are people actually chasing for in life? money and wealth? or happiness in life which includes family? why do these parents wants to have children when they do not really bother to raise them up the way parents are supposed to?
