Progress is not the ultimate destiny of man. It has both its pros and cons....the former may be good in the short run but the latter will surely reflect on the future of things to come!
How do YOU feel about Progress?? Come, share your thoughts....:)

''In the mainstream media today, progress is akin to a national religion. When the economy isn’t growing, we’re not making progress, and therefore, we need to put all our time and energy into making sure we get things back on track. This is the Story that our culture lives by and subscribes to, but it is this story that will foretell our demise. Do we even stop for one minute to consider that the story we’re telling ourselves isn’t correct? That from the perspective of the planet, and thus ultimately from the human perspective, progress isn’t always progress?''

I think progress is always a good thing, especially when we're talking about personal development, progress in obtaining new skills, being a better person. As far as progress in other fields for example technology goes, I would say it's the same case, it always tends to lead us to a better world. Of course there is usually a price to pay but progres is worth it.
