hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.

This is one of the many tales of a materialistic society. The more we choose to base our lives on the rate race, on attaining the flashiest cars, the biggest televisions, the trendiest designer clothes, the less time we have for those things 'oh so old fashioned', but innately valuable, pursuits like raising our children and spending time with those people we call our family members.
We need these old fashioned pursuits, both for the good of our communities and our own well-rounded mental wellbeing. The more we leave our kids to be brought up by day care centre franchises and the mass media because we are too busy working, the more we will be raising dysfunctional, self-centered unattached members of society. The more we skip those opportunities to actually get to know our parents, siblings or children, the more regret we will experience, and the more atomised, neurotic, and self-alienated we will be as human beings.
