I'm writing an essay for my honors philosophy class.

The professor said that the paper should be between 1000-1500 words.

I'm nearly done, and I'm at about 900.

I feel that I've answered the question. If I write more, I might start contradicting or second guessing myself.

But then again, I'm 100 words away from the suggested minimum.

Should I add some filler sentences, or leave it be?

a true philosopher would not even write the paper, as they would question it's initial existance in the first place

Add something of substance. What's the topic?

The ethical questions raised by Kieslowski's Decalogue VII and Decalogue VIII.

I have to use four different philosophers to point out the questions, but not answer them in doing so.

I'm not a big fan of this particular assignment.

But 100 words is a good quarter of a page.
It might be obvious that I'm missing a good part of my essay.

Just add some stuff to be on the safe side.

I know in my freshman year I've gotten away with tons of essays that were short of the required length, but it's not always a guarantee.  Better safe than sorry.
