Jumping to conclusions

When Oedipus first found out that someone in the town had murdered the king before him, he started to find anyone to blame. H first started to blame the old man. oedipus had no right to blame this man, especially because he was blind. There would physically be no way for the old man to do it. Then he jumps to conclusions that Creon, his brother in law, did it. From what we know about Creon, he had much of the same amount of power as Oedipus did, except he didn't make the calls, Oedipus did. Oedipus had no idea who killed Laius, he just wanted to blame whoever he could, so that the burden wasn't on him. My sister and I, get in little arguments frequently. Most of these fights have to do with stupid things and they never make sense. One day, my sister lost her phone somewhere in the house. Without even looking for her phone, she blames me. She asks me what i did with her phone and where it is. She had no right to blame anything on me. The least thing she could have done was to ask me for help to look for it. Before we start jumping to conclusions, we need to figure out what is really going on, and take time to think, before judging people.
