Well, what about that - Nasruminallah and I, both at the same time, now there are 2!!!

``Why do you cry so?`` he asked, while gently wiping the blood from her small hand.
The reply was as he`d expected, ``Because it looks so bad!``
``Then look away and think of other things``

Insensitivity, callousness, murder, hatred, how many more disgustingly human attributes can we think of that surround us?

Do we dwell on those, should we dwell on those?

Or should we perhaps ``look away and think of other things``?

Would that constitute callousness and insensitivity?

Ultimately, all things make sense; as sense is merely the ability to make good judgements and behave sensibly.

What is ``Human Evolution`` ?

Let me make an attempt to define this ``term

to start with ........

Human evolution = process of evolution
development
growth of human ....
mind
thought
all encompassing conceptual framework
worldview
philosophy of life ....etc


which enables man to live in harmony not only with nonhuman nature but also other humans as well irrespective of their differences in religion, race, culture, language, gender, nationality etc

Your words and common sense approach to life continue to inspire.

26 times read your article and this, the only post!!

Methinks you have struck a nerve somewhere my friend.

Stand by for the avalanche to follow!!

could not agree more with you ,Sir. But here the voice of reason is numbed by the insensitivity and callousness around us. or simply drowned in the din of media analysis. do u see any thing that makes sense- it is theater of the absurd....
