Question

give the central idea of mercy

Answer 1

Compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone. Showing someone grace because you can be the bigger person. That does not make you a better person, however. It simply means you are a caring person and do not want to cause someone pain just because she/he may have. The central idea of mercy is kindness and love. Not to prove anything, or else it wouldn't be sincere. Sympathy is-in my book- a very important quality because it shows how you can treat others even when you are in pain, or whatever you're going though. It shows your sensitivity and humanity.

Answer 2

This poem is  composed by  William Shakespeare This  poem is a strong appeal of mercy. It is  a divine quality which is  spontaneous. It cannot  be  forced. It  works like  balm and  gently soothes the disturbed mind  like  the drizzling rain in  summers after  the scorching heat. It  is a quality of  God  Himself and the  one who  possesses it, is  respected , loved and worshipped more  than the one  who  has  all the  glamours of  earthly power  like  crown and  sceptre. It blesses both the  giver  and  the  receiver. The  earthy power  becomes Godlike when mercy  is mixed with justice.
