Maybe it was because we didn't spend much time on it, or maybe because I didn't read it Freshman year, but either way, Oedipus blew me away. I was not really expecting all that too happen. But, I guess we shouldn't expect anything less from one of the greatest tragedies of all time.

Honestly, I just feel bad for Oedipus. I mean, i guess curiosity kills the cat, or in this cause, ruins the life of the king, but still. All his crimes he seemed to do without any malice or evil in mind.

Perhaps we cannot escape our own fate. Perhaps zeus is more powerful then any god we have today. I may never know. Oedipus leaves me wondering about my own fate.

I am still a young lad with no particular skill set. I suppose my path for life hasn't been chosen. Or maybe it has been, only I am still unfamiliar with it. That's the thing though, I just feel bad for oedipus, cause he was a pretty cool dude. Just like myself. And his path was to be king, o wait, nope. He's going to be king, but also unknowingly kill his own father and doodle his mother. I mean, come on. Cut the guy a break. Then again, maybe that stuff has to happen to make up for all the fun one can have as king. Hmmm. There's some food for thought.

After all this, I guess the only thing I really want for myself is not to become king of anywhere. But prince would do. O yes, prince would do. Do you notice how much fun those 2 in england seem to have? its completely unfair. Maybe I could be prince for a day.....
