Number Of People Mercy Killing
780 wordsMy Position on Mercy Killing Mercy killing is a very controversial issue which can not be solved unanimously in one or the other way.

Recurring Theme Feel Sympathy
1,704 wordsDespite the mask we wear to seek refuge and to hide our suffering from the outside world, we as a society go to our own inner selves in determining the true value of personal suffering. Not for redemption, but for the feeling to be pitied for is why humans often dwell in emotional pain for a longer time than necessary.
