the me myself and mine syndrome

Am worried about the selfishness that is rampant in the society today----- the ME MYSELF MINE syndrome. Especially the huge number of old age homes that r sprouting all over the country today.
Of course it wld be very different in other countries I suppose. But in India this is a trend towards the worse.
People here r used to living in joint families. If not anybody else, atleast the parents stay in the son's house. Today people regard their own parents as a burden.
Are they not being used and thrown away and of course everybody has a damn excuse to do the same. How disgusting can it ever get? And can such sons be trusted in other relationships? What happens to their children, if at all they r selfless enough to have any? And their intelligent wives who r the reason most of the time......how long wld it take for such sons to even divorce them? THINK OVER.
Another fashion is to work abroad to earn money for their wife and children??? R they not their parents' children? Then why have they been sent to old age homes or to the care of servants ? IS IT FOR THE SIN OF BEARING THEM AND MAKING THEM INTO FULLY GROWN INDIVIDUALS..... BRAINLESS and HEARTLESS THOUGH ?????
