It is a subject that people have grappled with since the dawn of recorded history. In fact, suffering is evident in every form of art man has created. Suffering is in our paintings, our poetry, our music, our plays, and in anything else that is conceivable. But still, we as a whole still struggle with the idea of suffering. It is my opinion that some individuals may grasp the notion of suff...

Our worst ni...

Concentration Camp Prejudice Holocaust
452 wordsPrejudice was the main factor that led to the holocaust. For some, resisting these forms of oppression was survival.
