Innocent People

"When bad things happen to good people"
Knowing that Macduff is in England, Macbeth sends murderers to Macduff's home. The murderers kill Macduff's wife and young child. In Macbeth, bad things happen to innocent and good people. The same is true of our world. In this blog post, consider an example of bad things that happen to good people. Explain a situation, and then explain how YOU make sense of it -- or how you deal with the fact that you can't make sense of it. You can make this post as personal or as abstract as you want. Try for 300 words.

In the play Macbeth, several of the characters are described as both good and innocent. They all get murdered for something that they are accused of. It ranges from killing a ruler to just men. In the real world, bad things happen to good and innocent people ranging from being abused, killed, molested, or robbed.
An example to fit the topic relates to a family friend. This family friend was described as being both innocent and trustworthy. He was involved with many things in life from starting organizations, running for a board position, and controlling his business. During one of the organizations that he was considered a board position, some of the other clients were giving some of the members a hard time. He would help to mediate the clients as well as the members. The situation worked out making everyone feeling cheerful and glad. Two years after this situation, he was diagnosed with a serious disease. The medical doctors who tried to help him said that they are unable to save him and only time will tell. After about three weeks, he died. About two weeks later, some of the people at one of the organizations were starting a conflict by removing board positions randomly and organizing events without notifying anyone about them. This really had an effect on me because he is one of my parents’ closest friends. My parents have known him for about 12 years. He was the type of person who worked strenuously and always had a sense of humor. As a student, I believe that he should have taken a day off from work and rest his body. By doing this, he would not have died early. At the same time, people should take care of their own conflicts and prevent them from letting others worry about it.
