Why do the worst things happen to the best people? Why do the people who live their life truthfully and fulfill it to their best in the ways they view it should be are filled with heartbreak and heartache. My teacher Mr. Robinson is the nicest guy I've ever known, he reminds me of Tuesday's With Morries, he doesn't die, but his wife did. His wife was something special and she truly meant a lot to him, but for some instance she was taken away from him. Especially since they have a mentally retarded son. I'd think he'd be the first one to go because he isn't just overweight, but obese. I just don't get it, why are the nicest people given the hardest task, while the ill fated, spoiled ones, just stand of in the sidelines watching the game? Life works in the strangest ways, you'd think the people who'd have someone taken away from them are the people who don't value life and what it has to offer. Not in this case. Whenever he brings up his wife, he cries and it gets to me, not because he is crying and naturally you would feel pity for him, but it's because why did it have to happen to him? Through his whole life, he's been a teacher not of the subject kind, but of the philosophy kind. He teaches and instills in us life lessons through what he has learned, through at times it may be boring listening him talk slowly, repeat slowly, but it gets to me how students don't appreaciate him until he seems to break down and then people take notice? Why is that, I ask myself this all the time and I have come to the realization that people don't know what hits them until they realize some sort of supernatural thing that happens to one person ie crying which sends waves of pity into that person causing thus not a sound to be made.
