Man is essentially social by nature. Brom his birth he is introduced to his fmaily , relatives and the community or local society. When the child begins to grow whatever experience we provide to the the child , it will be nourished in it. Though child expresses the qualities inherited by his parents and ancestors, its pesronality reflects the culture of the society. Today the child immitates the lifestyle and attitude of his friends much more than what he observes at home. This is due to the reason that the Parents go to work and look after the house. They have very little time to dedicate them,selves to their children. Once the family was macro in size or number. Today it has reduced to micro family. When the child was surrounded by the siblings, many of the things it would learn fro the siblings. When the child was absent from the parents, there were siblings to supervise and help the child. So the child used to get the maximum. Today most of the Parents have one sole child. Parents lavish the child with all luxury. So the child gorw up ego centric without having anybody at vicinity to educate it. Sometimes we find these children grow also altruistic. They become so much altruistic towards their friends and nieghbors rather than with thier parents at home. Many children spend lot of time and they hesitate to be be at home. They rather like to join their peer group and play instead of sit at home and follow their parents. At time when the children are at their friends' circle it is very comfortable for the parents. Later on they pay a very dear price when they discover that their children are not at all all atracted to be with their parents. They rather favor or help their friends and respect the parents of their friends rather than their own parents. But today the PC and internet may block the children from going out. But there is a great risk that the child will be confined all the time before the computer and the internet. The parents should educate their children to be balenced emotionally and socially.

I personally had done something really foolish so called "Altruistic" to my friend circles. Later, I just discover I am such a fool myself. I thought those so - called "friends" will appreciate me, instead they simply use me. I won't do it again, that is why I rather stay home all the time. Maybe I just hang out with a wrong crowd of people. Those people borrow my money, and never pay back. They simply use me that is all. I won't do it again. Don't be an altruistic, be tricky sometimes might help protect yourself.

I agree with you. We should never lend money. 99% of the borrowers will never give back money. Even if they return back you have to beg them so often. It is very embarressing to recover the loan money. Best is to indicate the needy friends to the legal institutes which lend money. You can lend money if you are not serious enogh to recover the money. If you choose to be altruistic , then you must be disposed of not expecting to get in return. If you need to get it back in return better never do it. Yes majority of the people seek you as long as you give. The moment that they know you are helpless they desert you
