DUTIES IN LIFE 

    

           Sometimes in life people believe it's there duty to find the truth out even when sometimes it's best to just leave things unknown and just move on in life. We sometimes think knowing everything is best. Well sometimes it can be good and it can be bad to think it's your duty to do these this. In the book 12angry men the judge makes the jury duty to do this to know everything that has went on during the crime scene learn every fact and to use it to judge someone's fate. He does this by saying "It's now your duty to sit down and try and separate the facts from the fancy". This is an example of having the duty to know everything as a good. This is example of a good because I'm our court of law this is how we judge weather someone in this case should be sent to the death or let free. So if we was to just not know everything we would just be sending people away and choosing their fate without using or knowing the facts to the situation. But one bad example of people thinking its duty to know everything is in Edipus.in the story Edipus killed  his father and did exactly what the prohet said he was going to do . But in the story he was so focused on trying to find out who killed his dad and send him away for doing so that he was really the one and instead of listen to him wife/mother and just taking over the kingdom and just runing it right .he decide he had to know even thou his life was perfect and set he had to know and he wide up finding out that he was really the one that did it. This example shows how when people think it's their duty to know all of the facts that it can go bad instead of just living and continuing to do right by everyone. Do you think knowing everything can be a negative in someone's life? And do you think that knowing to much can be bad and change your fate badly?
