Destiny is Already Written

Would you like to know how and when will you die? This is a common question asked in interviews, but 96% of the people that have answered said no. I’m astonished to find out that many of the characters of the myths, fall into the 4% that said yes.

These characters have visited oracles and want to know about their future, even though they are aware that the future is already written, and nothing can change it. “Laius, king of Thebes, was warned by an oracle that there was danger to his throne and life if his new-born son should be suffered to grow up. He therefore committed the child to the care of a herdsman with orders to destroy him.” How the myth demonstrated, Laius wasn’t able to change his destiny; nobody is able to change their destiny. Also, I find it absurd to visit an oracle, having the knowledge that no matter what he tells me I’ll be incompetent and won’t be able to change what he tells me. In addition, if I don’t like my future is because I’ll probably suffer, so I will most likely start worrying about my future, extending the amount of stress in my life.
