The human family, though it is the most evolved among all mammals as a living unit, is also the root cause of most of humanity's sufferings and problems. The largest Achilles heel of human kind is its propensity to amass wealth and property for their progeny and next generation, irrespective of whether they are deserving of such largess without having to slog for it.
Most of the ills of society stem from greed and avarice. Human are also the most selfish and corrupt. Because of their superior intelligence they are capable of being more devious than other creatures. Most of their superior attributes go towards becoming richer and powerful.
At the base of it all is the desire gain some kind of permanence. Though we know we are mortal, but still we still feel our wealth and power will live on through our next and future generations. Hence the family in spite of being a source of happiness is also the major cause of most of the suffering of humanity.
