Read the passage from utopia. They detest war as a very brutal thing, and which, to the reproach of human nature, is more practised by men than by any sort of beasts. they, in opposition to the sentiments of almost all other nations, think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war; and therefore, though they accustom themselves daily to military exercises and the discipline of war, in which not only their men, but their women likewise, are trained up, that, in cases of necessity, they may not be quite useless, yet they do not rashly engage in war, unless it be either to defend themselves or their friends from any unjust aggressors, or, out of good nature or in compassion, assist an oppressed nation in shaking off the yoke of tyranny. Which quotation from the passage best summarizes the central idea? a) they detest war as a very brutal thing, and which, to the reproach of human nature, is more practised by men than by any sort of beasts. b) they, in opposition to the sentiments of almost all other nations, think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war . .c). . they accustom themselves daily to military exercises and the discipline of war, in which not only their men, but their women likewise, are trained up . .d). . they do not rashly engage in war, unless it be either to defend themselves or their friends from any unjust aggressors, or, out of good nature .

“heartwork each day is born with a sunrise and ends in a sunset, the same way we open our eyes to see the light, and close them to hear the dark. you have no control over how your story begins or ends. but by now, you should know that all things have an ending. every spark returns to darkness. every sound returns to silence. and every flower returns to sleep with the earth. the journey of the sun and moon is predictable. but yours, is your ultimate art.” ― suzy kassem what does this quote mean to you? and why? i'm not looking for anything in particular, i just wanted to know. : )
