That was Tam. Gher Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 05:09:45 PM
But I want to say there was a discussion between Rand and someone--Lan, I think--about how his choices aren't really choices at all. The whole point being that they most certainly are choices, and that it's the content of their character which forces them to act in a certain way, not the Pattern.


Yeah, Tam told Rand that even if he can't choose what he has to do, he can choose why he does it.

Yeah, that seems logical, funny to see rand bite himself in the ass :p *NM* - 08/02/2011 06:31:44 AM 523 Views
I want to reply and say that's not exactly how I picture it, but I don't want to be dirty. *NM* - 08/02/2011 06:50:17 AM 566 Views

Bwah ha ha! Dirty minds think alike! *NM* - 08/02/2011 03:41:30 PM 463 Views
That actually seems cosmically plausible - but I really hope this is not the case - 08/02/2011 03:27:29 PM 1145 Views
But that has always been the case. I am astounded that it isn't recognized more often... - 08/02/2011 03:58:24 PM 1012 Views
This. There's a reason one of his archetypes is the Fisher King. *NM* - 08/02/2011 07:00:05 PM 523 Views
The issue is that the Fisher King story is about the Land, not the People - 08/02/2011 08:02:24 PM 925 Views
A good example - 08/02/2011 08:27:44 PM 948 Views
None of this is contradicted by what I have posited - 08/02/2011 09:16:48 PM 867 Views
But the chess analogy is what I'm seeing - the Dragon is necessary in degree not in total. - 09/02/2011 02:42:15 PM 1006 Views
Yes, those are the rules in chess... - 10/02/2011 05:34:25 AM 923 Views
The Fisher King is not a messianic myth. - 08/02/2011 10:07:44 PM 984 Views
