faithfulness is the practice of doing so. Having said that, let's admit that a committed spouse is not necessarily a faithful spouse. We men, in particular, succumb to the idea that I can have my Nalu but Mercy too. Nalu is the stable spouse with whom I raise my kids, attend church and grow gray hair with.

But commitment is worth a

When people think of juveniles they think rude, selfish, and growing up too fast. Now, think of what they say when a juvenile kills an innocent person, let alone if it was their own parent, another teen, or just a random person in the street.

doctors should show some mercy and grace towards them and give them a way to die peacefully. There are still people who think no matter what the doctor does, killing is still killing.

It was once said, "A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested." The meaning of this quote explains that any knight with shining armor has never truly battled or fought for freedom. More than a thousand years ago, a class of professional warriors arose. They swore oaths of loyalty to noble Lords and fought to the death to defend them in battle. They were the samurai of Japan and the European Knights in England. Some historians will argue that knights and samurai are

Schindler
