A Second Option for Oedipus

After reading Oedipus the King, I believe that the original definition of the "Oedipus Complex" misconstrues Oedipus' present actions. It is a fact that we find out that Oedipus does indeed kill his father and marry his mother, but according to Freud those intentions are universal to all men. I believe the Oedipus should also be famous for pursuing ill truth when he slowly finds validity in the prophecy. He could have lived the rest of his life peacefully ruling over two vast countries. Of course the repercussions of this option is living in full ignorance. Which raises an interesting question; should one live a jubilant life of contentment and ignorance or a life of misery and truth? Also this may not necessarily apply but consider the cliche: Ignorance is bliss
