In life, there comes a time when most divert focus from material wealth and begin to count their blessings in friends and family instead of monetary gain.

1. Why are there seemingly such an array of catalysts to tip the scales and change a person's thought process and way of life?

2. Are there really that many catalysts or are there really a small number of core items/reasons that result in varying dramatic and social life experiences?

3. If someone is caught in the balance and teetering toward a life of greed or a life of happiness with family and friends, should one assist and add weight to the scales of happiness or patiently wait for "life" to steer itself?
