The seeming caprice and unfairness of life, striking some down and pampering others, is only the beginning of the Great Encounter.
Life is like a road which involves many decisions.
When we reach a fork in our life we are forced to make decisions, these decisions take us towards our destiny. As we were the once that chose that fork. Some of the decisions maybe influenced by other people but the ultimate decision for everything is ours. Oedipus was a very hard headed and ill temperd person. But passion spent, compunction follows.
