In this story of the bible, three angels visited Abraham, the founder of Israel. They disguised themselves as men walking on a road traveling. Two of the angels went down to Sodom and Gomorrha to see the wickedness in these two cities. The other visitor, the lord, didn't go and instead stayed behind. He said that he was going to destroy the two cities because the people in them had evil ways. Abraham questioned if he should spare the city of righteous people lived there. Abraham bargained down the number of righteous people to ten, and he agreed not to destroy the cities if ten righteous people lived there. The cities continued to be filled with wicked people doing wrongs. The Lord rained down and burned sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrha, destroying every sight of life.
I feel that unfair punishment is just brutal. It happens a lot, but you shouldn't be punished for something you didn't do. The wrong people get punished sometimes. For example, a man went to jail for ten years for accused rape. The woman swore on it and everything. Then after 10 years she sees the true rapist. The falsely accused man suffered and got his life completely messed up because of this girl, yet he ends up forgiving her. It wasn't fair to him at all, but this shows his true character and how forgiving he was.
