Family relationships and their importance

Family relationships and their importance

I wonder how many of us ever, stand back and think what are we in this world for, why do we belong in this world. What is the main purpose that a man goes through this cycle of birth, life and death? Every stage of mans life has a purpose, when he is child he is thought to study hard and get into good college. When he is young he is told to study hard and make a good career out of his life, and when he is older he wants to earn enough money so he can enjoy the riches of his success. So are we chasing our own dreams, which are set forth upon us by our parents, society, and friends? During this phase of our dream chase are we forgetting what makes a man, a man. What differentiates him from animals? Isnt civilization inherited by just being born a man? Is it just civilization what he inherits by being a man doesnt he also inherit a family when he is born. So why is that as he grows older, does the very basic fabric which keeps him civilized keeps growing thinner and thinner. Why does he want to continue on his mirage journey of success by blinding out the very basic emotions which make a man. Why do we not make that extra step of going out of our way to meet our aunts or uncles or cousins whom we grew up with and equally grew afar with while chasing those dreams, that one day it hits you that this was my closest sis and I havent seen her for ages. Why do very people we grew up with are so strangers that you dont want to make that extra trip to meet them. Is it because we are chasing our elusive dream of being successful in life? Besides what is success, isnt its final frontier something which can bring joy to you, may be its luxury, may be its standing on top of mountain and saying I am the richest? But in the end its bringing joy to you. So what if the same joy or happiness be achieved by something else.
What is that connection you have with your family that you want to meet them? Is it the momentous time you had with them or is it that you have that special warmth with your loved ones that makes you happy when u get that Christmas card or an email. I think if we take a little time off to contemplate on these small things, it will make some of our lives more richer. I know for sure that for a fact no one is born alone in this world and no one has to die alone. In the end you will known for how many lives you touched in your life, and not how much money you made and the way you spent it, offcourse if your bill gates that is true too !
