Oedipus
No matter what good or bad life can bring, it's impossible to be in control of everything. People go through a day like it is nothing and get too caught up in the past and in the future. People regret mistakes they made in the past and hope their future turns out a little better. They hope for a better future and better memories. We lose control of the past and hope to gain back the control in the future, but no one realizes that the present is now. So much is talked about in the past and future that we neglect our present. Problems occur in life and when those problems start, we need to remember that we can't always be in control of things. We need to live life and not let life live us. We can't keep trying to control life's actions because we're only human. People don't live in perfect worlds and live perfect lives. Life will bring us many obstacles and it's our job to overcome those obstacles with a conscious body and mind.Oedipus lived a life of drama. He went through many years with an unconscious mind. Recognizing and living with the truth was hard for Oedipus. He wanted more attention in life when people would congratulate him or praise him. (Page 78) "It is not as deeming you ranked with gods t
He didn't actually take the time to think about what he was doing and what was happening around him. You could live today and die tomorrow. People just couldn't stand Oedipus anymore. After being ranked with the gods, his next goal was to get more power. He didn't realize that he wasn't god. Most people seem to work hard for what they want and get rewarded in the end. (Page 114)"Do not crave to master in all things" explains how Oedipus should have acted. We also spend too much time controlling things, that we lose our own perspective of our self. Oedipus was so caught up in his ranking as king, that he didn't realize what he was doing. We just want to live life according to our rules and no one else's. As a result, Oedipus became nothing more than arrogant. They described him as powerful and ranked him with the Gods. We lose ourselves in the world of power. What about those people who do nothing and get rewarded anyway? Do they control their own future or is it all planned out in some way that we can never find out? We crave for love, attention and most of all power; the power to have control of our own lives and maybe others as well. It seemed as though he interpreted power for praise and attention.
