It eventually shows that by using all your energy towards a plan of revenge, can cause

She seemed to be lost in a daydream and acted as if she was never part of this world. To be honest it was a little scary. It was in the year 2000 that Alice truly became insane. It was the day we were working in the chemistry room with some major dangerous chemicals. As usual Alice sat down next to her lab partner Conejo White. Alice had always

If a person is not allowed to vote, he or she does not have the same chances to make changes to society, or to improve laws and policies affecting their lives, on an equal basis with others in society. The same is true if one is not allowed to be elected. This relegates the disenfranchised person to a position of subjugation to the rest

“Have I gone Mad?” asked the Hatter (Carroll Alice In Wonderland). In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the main character Hamlet has to jump a lot of hurdles, including his mental health just like the Hatter. His father dies, his mother remarries his uncle, his friends betray him, and on top of all of that, everyone questions whether or not he is crazy.

The concept of psychopathy has been evolving since the 19th century, with authors like Robert Smith attributing the mental illness to religious failings and a lack of cognitive distinction between right and wrong (13).

One common modern saying is that “money makes the world go round”. People living in developed nations, specifically the United States, often strive to become rich and live a life compromised of indulgences and luxuries.
