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

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.

I'm sure he's not going to count the words.
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.
