A just society is a human ideal. We would all like to live in a place where (1) (rich) are not too rich and (2) (poor) are not too poor; where no one would be (3) (shock) or (4) (embarrass) at the way (5) (old) are cared for. (6) (blind) would have as much opportunity as (7) (sighted). (8) (deaf) would be able to develop their skills. (9) (unemployed) would not depend on the state, because no one would be unemployed. The most innocent people in society, (10) (young), would be protected. In this happy place no one would feel (11) (depress) or (12) (distress). Unfortunately, in the real world, life can be both (13) (distress) and (14) (depress). So let’s be thankful for a sense of humour. I recently saw a notice in an undertaker’s window and I wasn’t sure whether it was addressed to (15) (living) or (16) (dead). It said: “Once you’ve tried one of our funerals, you’ll never want to try another!”
