MacBeth Pre-Discussion

1. Humans can easily become evil, but they aren't really born "evil". It has to do with how that individual was raised and what enviornments they were exposed to. Say for an example that parents who committed crimes and are generally "evil" had a child, it doesn't mean that child is automatically evil. He/she will become evil if the parents raise the child to do "evil" things, but if the child on the other hand learns to do good deeds, and not to do bad things, lie, etc. then that child can't be considered "evil".

2. Free will is the the better way for a human to live. Being tied down by fate only hinders humanity. The only reason humans were able to evolve and become what we are today is because of free will, being free from "whats supposed to have happened" or "what's considered the norm" and went to achieve what was considered the impossible. If they only let things happen as is, the humans won't be able to be what they are today, hell, I bet we be stuck in the middle ages, or earlier.

3. Yes, but only if the person who committed it puts to effort to recover from it, and let others accept and forgive. If a person doesn't wish to put the effort in changing themselves and still makes the same mistake, then of course they shouldn't be given the opportunity. However, if the person puts the effort to, then yeah, they should deserve that second chance.

4. Yes it is possible to admire someone like that. It's not their past that matters anymore, what happened in the past is the past, what matters truly is who that person is now. If that person hasn't changed, and is evil to the core, then well it's obvious the type of perople who admire him/her, but on the other hand, if that person changed from their misdeeds in a form of redemption, then they should at least be given a chance. It's what they do now that counts the most, and whether their actions they have been doing currently is making a difference for the better that truly matters the most.

5. Sometimes, sacrifices are to be made in order to meet certain goals, and even to do things the person won't want to do. A person can't be completely benevolent, or kind, noone can. But if nothing but misdeeds are done, then yeah, it will ruin the end result. It's okay to do some bad things, only if you do good deeds to atone for it, noone can be an honest person 24/7 after all. But using cheap means, or morally bad ways to attain a certain goal, there is no balance to it. Only bad things will come back to haunt them, and it will ruin the whole purpose to why they even tried to reach the goal.
