Cruelty
Cruelty is indifference to suffering, and even pleasure in inflicting it. Sadism can also be related to this form of action or concept. Cruel ways of inflicting suffering may involve violence, but affirmative violence is not necessary for an act to be cruel. For example, if a person is drowning and begging for help, and another person is able to help, but merely watches with disinterest or perhaps mischievous amusement, that person is being cruel — rather than violent.
George Eliot stated that "cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity." Bertrand Russell stated that "the infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell."Gilbert K. Chesterton stated that "cruelty is, perhaps, the worst kind of sin. Intellectual cruelty is certainly the worst kind of cruelty."
Usage in law
The term cruelty is often used in law and criminology with regard to the treatment of animals, children, spouses, and prisoners. When cruelty to animals is discussed, it often refers to unnecessary suffering. In criminal law, it refers to punishment, torture, victimization, draconian measures, and cruel and unusual punishment. In divorce cases, many jurisdictions permit a cause of action for cruel and inhumane treatment.
Cruel (solitaire)
Cruel is a video game for Microsoft Windows based on Perseverance, a solitaire card game. Cruel was published by Microsoft in 1990 as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows 3.0. Cruel has since been remade for other platforms by several vendors.
Play
Cruel uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The aces are placed face up to act as the foundations, upon which the suits will be built in sequence. The rest of the cards are shuffled and then dealt in 12 tableau piles, each with four cards.
The aim of the game is to place all the cards on the foundation piles, ordered from ace to king, using an unlimited number of moves.
For each move the player chooses any one of the top (exposed) cards from a tableau pile and places it either:
Only one card may be moved at a time.
All I Need (Foxes album)
All I Need is the second studio album by English singer and songwriter Foxes, released on 5 February 2016.
Background
Foxes started work on the album in January 2015 in Los Angeles. Commenting on the album's direction, Foxes said "I was inspired a lot more with this record with stripping things back and making it a lot more emotional. I didn't want to do a concept album, I always like it when I can write from a diary in a way. It's quite an emotional album. It's got elements from the first one, but it's definitely not as produced. The tracks feel a lot more vocal [with] piano and strings. It's still cinematic in ways but I'm a lot more honest on this record this time around, which is quite a scary thing to be." She has also said that the album was inspired by relationships. The album was originally scheduled to be released in October of 2015 but the album was pushed back to 5 February 2016 so it could be released worldwide.
Critical reception
All I Need received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 69 out of 100, which indicates "generally favorable reviews" based on 8 reviews.

Cruel lyrics
Baby
This is really goodbye
The curtains bout to fall
And I'm about to walk out your life
Hate me
If you like
Girl I'm tired of being burned
Sorry ain't gonna cut it this time
And did you wanna stay there
You can lead your heart astray
And then close both eyes
And I'll go away.
But I can tell you right now since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away.
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it.
Don't wanna hear another word about it
'Bout it, yeah
Baby
This is really goodbye
Well excuse me if I'm mad
You really hung me out to dry
And did you wanna stay there
You can lead your heart astray
And then close both eyes
And I'll go away.
But I can tell you right now since the damage is done
Don't bother picking up the pieces
Rather you'd fade away.
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it.
Don't wanna hear another word about it
'Bout it, yeah
(RAP)
This is more than just a break up song
Plans for life have to break the fall
Slap in the face kinda wakeup call
Well too bad a rich man to wake up for
We used to be tight
Right as the rain
Since that night no other night be the same
It's fair to say she ain't right in the brain
She like poison put right to the vein
Was it all my fault
Tell me did I push you away?
Was it my absence led to the damage that eventually led you astray?
Where did we go wrong, wait a minute what am I tryna say?
You messed up
It's on you
(Turn around and)
Please walk away
How could you be so cruel to me
And yet she can be so cool about it
Guess the rest is history
Hey I'll catch you soon but I doubt it
I doubt it
I doubt it
Don't wanna hear another word about it
(Guess the rest is history)
'Bout it, yeah
