“Do you think it is bad to have too much of something?”

People usually change for one main reason MONEY. All become greedy when they see the possibility to have money.

Greed changes people, sufferings change people... The former, to evil, the latter, uncertain (when one is optimistic, one becomes a better person after facing disaster, negative attitude creates the opposite!).

Greetings, I believe everything, in excess, is somehow bad. Exaggerate and you have an unhealthy weight in your life. But some things in excess are way worse than others. For example, money. Money is always attached to that stigma that, when we have too many, we won't be talking to our old friends, we will not be seeing our family anymore. I don't believe it to be 100% true, but I can easily tell that not everybody has the proper mindset to earn money. Another thing that does that to people is power. Power usually corrupts the human being and turns it into an abusive creature. We can see that in many governments, but we can also see it inside companies. People who turned out to become powerful - check out what do they do, how do they behave, and how do they treat others. Now, the worst combination is an excess of money and power. Usually, money means power in our society. Power to do what you want to do, when you want to do. That's why I pointed out the mindset thing before. Have a nice time!

Not everyone gets spoiled by material things. I think if your house is so cluttered because you have so much then that can be when having to much of something is not good.

This should not happen but this is fact that it happens with many when they start getting too much. Its not fault of getting too much, but totally fault of that person. Things are not permanent but relationships are, so better not to ruin them.

Some get nicer when they get older because they felt they were not nice and some get meaner and meaner as they get old because they feel they can do it.

I am learning to simplify my life, hence I believe having lesser is better. Though I can't really say having too much of something is bad, it really depends how one thinks of it. After reading what you wrote, I can relate that when some people become rich, they might think their "status" have changed due to the amount of money or assets they have. Some people think they should be categorized by "money", then they might behave not so nice. I do believe there are many people who do not think or behave that way, there are many billionaires who donate their properties to the needs, and they are always trying to help.

That is sad. People change because they don't recognize their past. If only all people know how to value their past, they would understand that change indifferently is not the right way.

They become afraid when they have too much money. They believe people would steal or take advantage of them. It's unfortunate that your uncles have change. when they should have been close like your father would be.

If someone has something more, it doesn't make them better, maybe better off to do it, but not better. Some people change and that is too bad.

I am very sorry about the way your aunt and her husband changed after your father passed away, Shavkat. Material possessions don't necessarily make people change. While it is possible to have too many possessions, I don't believe that is what caused your aunt to change. If you will forgive my presumption, I believe I can point towards the thing that precipitated or at least galvanized the change in your aunt. I think your father had a great deal of influence with your aunt, his sister. When your father passed away, I believe it made your aunt take a closer look at things in her life. Your response to your father's passing was grief and a lingering sadness. Your aunt's response to your father's passing was grief that transformed into a shadow emotion. Instead of reaching out to you/your part of the family for consolation, she chose to reach instead for material gains. It doesn't matter where the material gains came from, she just needed them now, without consideration for you/your family, who still needed the use of the money/land for a time... Of course, I could be mistaken, but what you have told me is very similar to what I have observed in a friend's family here. Like you, my friend and his family were upset and confused but did let his grandfather sell their family home while my friend moved his family into an apartment until they could find a permanent solution. It is possible your aunt may realize what she has done one day and ask for forgiveness. I hope you and your family can forgive what has happened and move on if/when she does. Hey! You changed your avatar! I like this new one, as much, if not more than your last one, my friend!

Do you mean they changed to bad persons? I have seen and heard a lot of our fellowmen changing like that as they think they are powerful now and can treat other people bad. They are full of themselves and treat relatives poorly. Sorry to hear about your relatives.

It all depends upon the person. People are uniquely different from one another but a true person's identity is tested by how he is when he still has nothing vs. when he already has everything.

Yes, most of the people will change, as they get promoted to a higher level, or they amass wealth, or they get recognized for something they have achieved. It is one of the weaknesses of a human being. But that doesn’t mean all people are like that. There are plenty of pious people, who are really non-egotistic and highly cultured and have better control over their behavioral attitude with others. So, it is always better to avoid such arrogant people, whom you have referred in your question, and try to associate people who are more refined and better cultured.

I cannot recognise my own siblings when compared to what they were when we were under the same roof. I have changed too and that is life.

People must stay grounded and humble. If they get too much blessing they should turn more into good people

Too bad, but you know someday they'll realize what really matters in life.
