Teiresias, the fortune teller

The role of Teiresias actually reminds me of the fortune tellers who would sit along the streets or pavements of shops and call for the people to read their palms. The only difference is that Teiresias was an honoured man in Greek society while the fortune tellers were someone the society would look down upon. So, is that good to know what will happen at the next stage of life? Would you like to know when exactly you will die? Could you live in peace if you know that you will be committing a sin right after the moment? People will worship the fortune tellers if they reveal something good about their future but the impact is vice versa if it is something bad. The same thing happened to Teiresias as he was cursed and accused by Oedipus when he revealed the truth and the fate. Teiresias, the man who was praised once for his nobility and wisdom, was mocked in bad words after the revelation. No one would want to know about the future if it is not a promising one, and Oedipus is not an exception for that. As for me, I think that the real downfall of Oedipus started right after Teiresias told him the fate. Oedipus would have lived peacefully if he had not met Teiresias. Knowing the fate earlier is disasterous, so it is better not to know that at all. Let the fate take it's place and play it's role.Anyway, what is the point in knowing the fate earlier when it could not be changed. So, are you still interested in knowing your future? I think I would give a second thought for it because I do not wish to be another Oedipus.
