Atropos's Three Fates

I selected Atropos (Morta), one of the three fates known as the Moirae and daughters of Zeus and Ananke. Ananke name meant “necessity”, as it is necessary or fated to happen when dealing with her children. The Greek goddess wielded the scissors that decided how each mortal would meet their end. Clotho spun or created the life thread. Lachesis drew the thread to determine the length of life leaving Atopos to with the how and when a life ends.

The myth Atopos was simple she symbolized the end of life. All mortals had a date with death however no one but the fates could determine that time. The myth was their way of admitting that they had no control of when and how they died. There is some dispute as to if the fates controlled mortal

and immortal fates. Mostly dismissed by men because since Zeus was the overseer of the fates.
The lesson Atopos is to live your life because you are not in control of your ending. Death is an eventuality for all living beings so stop worrying about it.
The myth is still relevant today because as humans we think about our ending. For some it becomes so engrossing that it causes them to become static. Our birth is not something we get to choose. The days we have on this earth are not up to us, although we can do things such as eat health and exercise to help our chances. The point of it all is the end will come whether we want it to or not so don’t preoccupy yourself with things beyond your control. The only thing we really can control is how we choose to live our life. We are born, we live and we unfortunately our lives come to an end.
