Being born into the age of technology often makes one feel utterly alone, a sensation of solitude that is particularly intense for those living in large metropolises, far from their roots, or for individuals from nuclear families or broken homes who are disconnected from their birthplace. For children, this sense is even deeper, as the demands of daily life and careers often leave parents unable to devote sufficient time to their families. This dynamic inadvertently builds a wall between the child, who navigates life in this vast emptiness, and their parents.
As people become lonelier, they tend to grow quieter—a calmness that might initially seem beneficial, allowing for greater attention to overlooked details. However, if this calmness turns into loneliness and melancholy, it diminishes one’s passion for life, leading to the creation of a personal, melancholic space. In a world where the number of people living alone is increasing, pessimism has become a widespread attitude. Belief in the concept of justice has waned, yet if people genuinely believed in goodness and the possibility of a better life, the situation would be much different.
Belief is the foundation of everything, and viewing life with a positive perspective can be life-saving. Everything happens for a reason, and every trouble or hardship will eventually pass. Many beautiful moments that will bring joy to your heart await you—just leave the door open for them. The concept of justice reminds us of many things, one of which is conscience. Conscience does not rely on written rules; it cannot be silenced or erased from within us. Watching the play Macbeth reminded me of something I had forgotten: justice, hope, and the promise of a new day will always exist. The harm you cause to others will come back to you. You will be broken where you have broken others.
Macbeth shows us that if justice requires a forest to walk, that forest will walk; fate is inevitable.
The three witches make the following prophecy to Macbeth:
“You, Macbeth, will only be defeated when Birnam Wood marches to Dunsinane Hill.”
This prophecy reassures Macbeth, as he believes it impossible for a forest to walk, and thus he feels secure. However, by the end of the play, this prophecy comes true.
Duncan’s son Malcolm gathers an army to fight against Macbeth. Malcolm orders his soldiers to cut branches from Birnam Wood and use them as camouflage while advancing. From a distance, this creates the illusion of the forest moving.
When Macbeth sees the forest “walking” due to the soldiers’ tactic, he realizes his fate is sealed. This moment signifies the fulfillment of the witches’ prophecy and Macbeth’s inevitable defeat.
Fate is inescapable.
