Number of words: 825 | Number of pages: 3.... at some point, has experienced the feelings that Wright
describes. And with the pronoun ‘we' Wright tells his readers, ‘Yes, I have
been through the same things.' This sort of statement is like a token of good

seems highly probable that a greater amount of pain would be caused, at
least in the present, by the bomb exploding. This probability suffices
for a quantitative utilitarian, .....
