“prudent’. He means that Oedipus who suffers from excessive pride is not prudent. Another point of his anger is when Oedipus commits hubris and blasphemy: “What a wicked old man you are! You’d try a stone Patience!” We can see that Oedipus is very selfish. Oedipus is blind to the pattern of the events that define his life.

"Is Self-Care Selfish" When I first saw the assignment with the title‚ I questioned myself what has to do with self-care being selfish.
