"Creon, We are no different", says Oedipus.

As we have obtained the absolute power , we  become more ignorant because we often surmise thing- we believe in- is right. Remember, how thoughtful you are when you don't experience kingship.Now as a king, You begin to perform the contradictory feat of what you have faith in. Why? The reason is simple:we are afraid of losing our throne. We advocate and consider our prerogative as divine right whereas it just serve our own purpose. As a king or a tyrant shall I say, we have no free choice but do what we can to secure our throne. One more thing  I would like to mention, Creon,is our flaw doesn't only impact on us but the people who are entrusted to us!
