Family Reunion

In the past, family reunions' gatherings were always something we kids look forward to, especially during the Chinese New Year. I'm feeling nostalgic thinking about those playful times i had before.

And now, look at what it has become. Though the situation ain't that bad, but it definitely isn't as heartwarming as it was. The topics we teens talk about has changed drastically. The older ones are talking about jobs, the younger ones, about studies. We're drifting apart day by day, maybe not so much for us kids, but more for the adults.
Conflicts, quarrells, gossips and jealousy has been pretty much a great deal these days. Though it isn't obvious that they show it written all over their faces, but the cold atmosphere can be felt.

It's the adults' problems, but somehow kids are interfered in someway or another that we tend to be biased to the other party. It seems that $ money $, has a big role to play in causing all this unhappiness. A small amount of $ can cause a big tiff and then, the once strong relationship they shared all breaks aparts. Pretty sad lar.

Does money really play such a big part? Is it that important?
Perhaps it's easy for me to say, that i'd choose happiness over money any time now... but who really understands? Hmmm...
