By innocent, I assume you are referring to the weak, the nice person that did nothing wrong. The innocent suffers the most because they are easy, it's the simplest answer that I can give. It's the rule of the universe that the weak (understand as easy) will suffer. The formula is this, I made it up but I will explain.

1. If I can hurt you without suffering any immediate or long-term consequences, then why shouldn't I?

2. If I can hurt you and will suffer immediate or long-term consequences, I will think twice.

Look down to the animal kingdom, and you will see clearly this dynamic at play. The deer have never done anything wrong to the lion, but the lion has been hunting and killing it since the beginning of time, just imagine yourself as a deer for example. All the predators from cheetahs, tigers, lions, and even monkeys will hunt you, simply because you are weak. You can't fight back, and there are no consequences for the predators. A tiger can practically ambush your family at night, rip apart the pregnant mother deer, kill the three-month-old fawn, and nothing will happen.

So why won't you suffer? You are basically a coward. You can also see that the predators don't attack themselves, they are not friends, but they just know that they should avoid themselves. A lion knows that if it decides to attack a Tiger, it can probably pay with its life, and self-preservation is more important than defeating a tiger. If you really want to understand power dynamics and how the world work, just study the animal kingdom, humans are basically like that.

Of course, it soothes our ego to feel like we are civilized and not like lower animals, but animals are the honest version of humans. I can give a multitude of examples to show this fact, but this post will be unbearably long. The world around you operates on a series of codes, and if you can unlock it, everything becomes so easy to understand.

Ever wonder why lions and other dangerous animals in the wild just avoid humans? They will practically hunt a buffalo that is stronger and can lift a car but avoid humans that are weak. Why is that so? Its because these animals have learned for centuries that humans are not easy. You may kill one of us today, but I guarantee that we are coming for you. We don't even have to get close to you to kill you, we can shoot you from a kilometers away, surround you with spears, poison your food, humans are basically deadly. Animals learned this (well, except mosquitoes maybe), and they avoid us.

The day deer and goats, and impala start killing lions anytime they attack them, that will be the day lions will stop hunting them. Snakes, for example, are weaker they will be crushed by an elephant's weight, but all animals just avoid it, because snakes are poisonous, and animals know this, so they avoid the snake. Of course, I am not saying you should become a wicked psychopath, no no, all I am saying is that you should not be easy. There are people that when you see them, talk to them, and how they carry themselves, you just know that you should not mess with them.

My definition of a good man is someone that is very dangerous but has it under voluntary conrrol. Like a martial artist, they can probably kill you with a blow, but these guys will never hurt anyone even if you slap some, but when you cross their red line, you are gone. So don't be like the Nigerian army that harasses civilians, instead, be like a lioness that protects her family, showing them love, but destroy the hyena coming at night to kill your cubs. I understand that this mindset doesn't come easy, but it's just the way things are.

A real-life example of how the weak (or innocent like you call it) suffer is that everyone wants a taste of you. Pastors want to lock you on tithe weekly, to get a firm grip on your salary, the same goes for politicians that want you to sell your vote for a plate of amala and ewedu soup, and if you are rich, then the fake friends and fake lovers show up. They are like predators, if they smell weakness and naivety, they will come, but it's left for you to defend yourself. It is my problem if I decide to harm you, but it is your problem if I can actually harm you. It is your responsibility to protect yourself, toughen yourself, and transform from a weak man to a strong man, so then you can live in with dignity. If you want peace, prepare for war - Sun Tzu.
