A short paragraph on wasting time plsss fasst
dimaraw [331]
Why do humans waste time? We all do it. We put off tasks we see as boring or procrastinate to avoid having to complete a task. We waste time by over thinking about situations when they require a split second decision. But is this really wasting time? Some situations require a little over thinking so could it be deemed un-nescassary to ponder over other options. You could save money, time and effort by just wondering about a simple 'what if?'. This brings up the question - is wasting time really a waste?

What "sickness" has lady Macbeth acquired​
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia

Explanation:

In the play, we are presented with many variations and interpretations of mental sickness that Lady Macbeth develops, being the central one madness. However, madness would be too general and abstract to answer this question. Diving deeper in her symptoms, it becomes more and more logic (however not explicit) that she suffered from bipolar disorder, by showing the symptoms of inflated or self-esteem grandiosity. Another possibility is that she had at the same time schizophrenia developing psychosis and hearing voices.
