A single thought which sometime do come in our thought process is that what is it that we call progress . Is it doing fine material wise or is it something else..It may not be of any relevance in out day to day life but if we take the whole picture of life in perspective it might change our comfort levels to certain degree. What is it that a human being want ? the answer can vary from person to person ......the example can be given from the views of two journalists' account....one from toi and one from the age(aus land).......article in toi says" life is like circle of day and night , joys and sorrows,two sides of a coin ...a person who is undeterred by them ,makes life more livable for him/herself and living beings around is 'successful' " ....article in the age says "races which are lagging behind are themselves to blame and they should stop blaming others for thier misery" and with this he gives account of how jews have won hundreds of nobel prize ,muslims a couple and how white races have acquired wealth and prosperity(by this it is presumed he means hard currency)...he further blamed so called "not very prosper" of not working hard enough and fighting among themselves......By giving these examples I wish to explore is it right for a particular group of human beings to move out of their homes and plunder wealth from other's and then claim they are more "civilized" or are those right who gave way to these people(becoming strangers in their own homeland) to live in peace and making lives livable for them and others.....there may not be a clear answer.... does it comes down to the definition of progress, of prosperity or is it human nature which is influenced by so called "animal instinct"i.e. powerful rules..or there doesn't exist any human nature just a farce,an excuse to kill and to cage other species of this blessed planet.....

Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel.
