Post #2- Oedipus Rex

This play left me to consider the idea of free will, its limits and its opposition with the idea of fate. Since reading Oedipus Rex I have been debating the very idea of free will in my mind. Essentially, it seems, one could regard the situation either way. There is no denying that things will happen the way that they will happen, exactly, but at the same time we are left to fill in the pieces that complete this infinite puzzle. The decisions we make are still our choice, even if there is only one possible outcome- the outcome we choose. In any case, I now have a mind-boggling paradox to occupy my mind with when I am sitting in an elevator.
