One one hand, I think Mr. Lieb is undervaluing larger causes. You can make a large cause important in your life without throwing away the rest of your life, and I believe working for what you believe in is very important. Yet, at the same time, I feel that he is right about the importance of those closest to you, and you should not let other aspects in your life drive you from them.
