     | 96 views

    Illustration:Complacency is a blight that saps energy, dulls attitudes, and causes a drain on the brain. The first symptom is satisfaction with things as they are. The second is rejection of things as they might be. "Good enough" becomes today’s watchword and tomorrow’s standard. Complacency ...read more

Then, as now, murder was a serious offense against the person and the society where it took place. ...read more
