During my time reading the play “Oedipus The King”, they portray timeless human experiences and behaviors across the reading. One of the experiences/ behaviors that was mentioned was the truth. As us humans are, we are always willing to find out more and know the real truth behind certain things in our life. We sometimes sit and question ourselves thinking, am I the reason for this to happen or what am I missing from getting my answer. In the reading, Oedipus shows this by him wanting to find out about the truth of his life. He takes time and time over again sitting and thinking about it. But as he kept getting closer to knowing what he wanted, he started to push himself away to try and not listen to it anymore. The Reason for this is, not all humans are ready for the truth. The truth could hurt a lot of people so it best to go with the flow. As a result Oedipus found out what he wanted to find and lost everything because of it.

I don’t agree. I think people have to constantly challenge their destiny. Although they will fail, the process in the middle is precious. This is the reason why human beings can continue to make progress.
