Has anyone ever heard of Lohdccccrd Krishna? He is a Hindu god. When his mom, Devki got married, a prophecy came from sky that her 8th child will kill his mom's brother: King Kansa who was ruler of Mathura Region in Northern India. On hearing this, King Kansa decides to kill Devki's offspring. He jails Devki and her husbant Nandlal. He slays 7 of her kids in prison. But the 8th kid manages to come out of the jail. He lives under a false identity for 20 years. After 20 years in a fierce battle he kills King Kansa to prove the prophecy true.
This is very similar to Oedipus killing his father. What springs a doubt in my mind is: If our destinies are pre-choreographed then are we mere puppets? Being the strongest form of life are we not capable enough to change the prophecies? Are these prophecy kinda things even true or just human beliefs? I am looking forward to some convincing answers.
