Superiors vs Inferiors...

To, All the inhabitants of this world... Yes... Nature is wonderful... There are reasons......   There are plenty of species living in harmony with one another (of course among them one is exceptional) in this same world. Wherever you go, you'd find a neighbourhood offered to you by nature. It's up to you to engage them in a way that may please you.    The one very basic scheme that is been subjected upon all the beings of this world is the 'Survival of the Fittest', which means living beings with more strength, prowess, deadly skills, etc. predominantly lead their life as they wish than those so-called inferior beings.

Or for getting low grades for which the inefficiencies of the employees is not only accountable as we all know in this country people play politics even to fetch milk for the infants? So as an employee you are confused to the point that your seat is volatile whether you work or ...
