MY VOCAB PRACTICE
Nobody wants to suffer sadness, but why do people just say whatever they want regardless of what others may feel because of their words?
The foolishness of humanity is beyond comprehension.
They have the willingness but they don't have the courage and the perserverance to act.
Everyone has a darkness in their heart and some people are hiding it behind their smile.
