A World of Injustice as Shown by "Oedipus Rex"

"Oedipus Rex" is a perfect example of how there is injustice in this world everywhere you look. Things don't happen because they're fair, they happen because they happen. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes good things happen to bad people. Its not a predetermined decision, this world is never ending chaos. Sometimes things happen at random and there is no explanation or ethical reason behind it. When you are blind to the truth it can lead to your demise. Oedipus realized his flaw and paid for it and more over. Bad things will always happen to innocent people and this is a major plight of the human race. There is no rhyme or reason for what befalls us, we must accept what the world throws as us and keep moving. We live in an unjust world and "Oedipus Rex" is a perfect example of it.
