Brother kills brother over money dispute

Brother kills brother over money dispute

Another sorry news item which disturbed me recently:"

Two brothers had a fight over sharing of the insurance policy amount received on the death of their father. The fight lead to one brother killing the other!

Couldn't they BOTH understand that they ought not to be fighting for stuff like money, especially considering the fact that they are likely to have been in the period of mourning after their father's demise?
What kind of values and belief systems are being taught in our schools, families, etc. to allow such incidents to take place?
What were the other members of the family doing while these two brothers were fighting? That too till the point of killing one of them!
Did the fighting brothers think about the impact that their dispute will have on their near and dear ones?

Guess that we all should re-start inculcating the right values in the minds of all our children like the proverbial "good old days".

Regards,
