Fate

There are many cases that in the Mahabharata when a person does something that they know is a bad decision but do it anyway because that is "what fate dictates" for example Yudhisthira is quoted saying, "All creatures receive good or evil at the command of the Creator. If I have to play once more, it is inevitable. I know that this command of the king, this fresh invitation to a game of dice, will cause desolation all round. But even so, I am not able to disregard it." Why do you think that even knowing what will come he still decides to do it? This is very different from the Greek idea, that when one receives a prophecy they do everything in their power to avoid it but by their avoidance actions it occurs. Which, in your personnel opinion works better, the Hindu idea of just facing something head on or the Greek idea when you try to avoid the situation but it occurs anyway?
