About this Quote

This quote by Sophocles is a reminder that some things are just inescapable. Even the god of war, Ares, is helpless against the forces of need. This suggests that no matter how hard we try, some things are merely out of our control. We can combat and have a hard time, however ultimately, we should accept the important things that are essential. This quote encourages us to accept the important things that we can not alter and to focus our energy on the things that we can. It is a suggestion that we need to not lose our time and energy on things that are out of our control. Instead, we need to concentrate on the things that we can do to make our lives much better.
