People react
The post has since ignited reactions online, with many wondering why the man now wants to reconnect with the family after all these years away:

“He’s already unkempt and worn out. He ran away when he had strength. He seems to be going back to being a nuisance.”

“There is no vacuum automatically. He is coming back home with something, either poverty or he has some savings.”

“It’s very hard to differentiate karma and the needy in this particular case.”
