We focus on ill will and let it consume us. As did Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym did, “as boys they had thirsted for one another’s blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other.” (Saki 7) They were raised into despising one another due to their family’s feud (that started generations ago…

Two Sides of the Same Coin Imagine a world in which there is little to no freedom or opinion. The ruling group regulates opinions, work, ambitions, ideas, interests, possessions, and almost every other aspect of life. There is no difference in opinion from the ruling group, because the leaders do not allow it. Any infraction or thought against the ruling group is punishable by death. Any “rebels” or “heretics” disappear and/or are used as examples. Almost no member of the general public sees…
