Destiny

Many people believe that by changing their ways of lives, they'll be able to avoid destiny. But the reality is that destiny can not be avoided. As much as someone tries to change something, it is impossible to interfere with destiny. People can change everything, they can go somewhere else, they can live a different life, but destiny will someway catch up. This is something which you can see in Greek Mythology. Many people or gods were told about something that was going to occur to them in the future, something that they didn't want to happen. So they changed their lives, but they couldn't avoid destiny, one way or the other, destiny catched up with them.
For example in the myth of Sphinx, King Laius of Thebes was told by an oracle that his new-born son was going to kill him and take his thrown. The king scared of this, gave the child to a herdsman in order to destroy him. But the herdsman full with pitty, didn't kill the child, but tied him by his feet to a tree. After, a peasant found him and gave him to his master who adopted the baby, he was named Edipus. Many years later, King Laius was in his charriot with one attendant, and he encountered a young man in the road. The king's attendant killed the man's horses, and the man in revenge killed both, the king and his attendant. The young man was Epidus. Then Epidus went to Thebes, were there was a monster called the Sphynx which dind't let anyone pass to the city, unless they answered a riddle. Epidus answered the riddle, and the Sphinx died. The people of Thebes were very thankful, so Edipus became the king and married Jocasta, the queen.
"The gratitude of the people for their deliverance was so great that they made œdipus their king, giving him in marriage their queen Jocasta. œdipus, ignorant of his parentage, had already become the slayer of his father; in marrying the queen he became the husband of his mother. "
