IMO, the main difference between Egwene & Galad is... Mik Send a noteboard - 21/10/2010 12:36:53 PM
...that Galad brings the Children of the Light back to what they originally were -wich differ sharply from what they currently are- with leaps and bounds, by staying true to himself. It is by just being -Galad-, that he lives "The Way of the Light" as written by Lothair Mantelar at the start of the War of the Hundred Years. The Way of the Light didn't change Galad; it made Galad realize that the original Children of the Light live like he wants to live. By joining the Children and remaining true to both himself and thus Mantelar's original ethos, he managed to change the Children along with him without ever wanting to.

This in stark contrast with Egwene, who adopts all the current Aes Sedai ways of living -wich differ sharply from their original ways- and now rules all the current Aes Sedai by beating them at their own game, basically!
Egwene commands all Aes Sedai by totally becomming the current Aes Sedai and not staying true to what she was when she left Emonds Field, whereas Galad brought the Children back to what they were, by staying true to himself when he left Caemlyn.
Egwene wanted to rule and she lost herself along the way to the top.

Both have the best intentions, but I do think we'll find out that Egwene is the misguided one here.
I think that's what Cannoli is trying to say as well..but in the "Cannoli"-way (tm). :)
I agree fundamentally with him, although I'd word it slightly different.

Go look up the definition of the word atrocity - 25/10/2010 04:53:55 PM 828 Views
Maybe you should have done that yourself: "behaviour or an action that is wicked or ruthless" - 27/10/2010 11:11:30 AM 785 Views
the fact that you can't differentiate between the extermination of an entire village - 27/10/2010 08:30:12 PM 822 Views
READ; I *did* differentiate between them. It doesn't change the fact all are atrocious deeds - 28/10/2010 09:00:56 AM 915 Views

You asked for atrocities and you got them. Now you just don't know what to do with them. - 28/10/2010 06:49:16 PM 859 Views
dude, you gave us a list of petty crimes and compared it to mass murder - 28/10/2010 06:59:33 PM 819 Views

You should be an Aes Sedai; the way you can twist truth would scare Siuan. - 28/10/2010 09:07:24 PM 782 Views

But that is irrelevant. Aes Sedai can also go to Amadicia in disguise. *NM* - 21/10/2010 05:35:18 AM 421 Views
But they aren't in disguise - 21/10/2010 08:31:38 AM 796 Views
They don't wear their uniform, their one identifying feature. That is a disguise. - 21/10/2010 09:08:25 PM 731 Views
