Time + Money = Loss of relationship and tradition

Growing importance for time and money makes relationship weak and given least priority. This in a way has a serious impact on understanding and keeping up our tradition and loss of moral values.
 
There has been a lot of discussion done over this issue in the past and it is still debated in the society, cause for this is many many factors but the impact of it is mostly on the aged people and kids at home. I thought about this issue a lot coz I am personally going through this in my life. It is painful, it is really worrysome. I dont want this to happen but unfortunately it happens sometimes and I could realize there are some mistakes at my end but not able to rectify it. I have been thinking if my son or daughter would get to meet, interact with those relationship like uncles, neices, aunts or would they get to celebrate the festivals along with all the family members and extended family I am sure my kids will never get 10% of what I got in my childhood. I can still remember those manners and etiquette's that my grand father taught me. My grand mother taught me how to worship, epic stories and a lot many things that gave me an idea about my religion and tradition. Will I be able to create such an opportunity to my kids? or will they ever get to know all that I got to know or will they learn those stupid things from internet and thru SMS messages. Technology gives both the positive theory and the negative theory and understanding them would be a difficult task and for sure they will be confused.
 
I strongly believe that its not good for this society to continue like this and to change this we should all look first look at our families  and see if we can bring in some change. I would appreciate if readers can come up with some ideas/suggestions to correct this.
