well... am i the only one who thinks this might be a good thing?
honestly, DT ended (and there were PLENTY of clues this was how
it would end) the only way it could have (imo) but it was, at the same
time, somewhat unsatisfying.
it's just like life. so...say you're going along in your life thinking this is
the only one you've got and that death ends it and there's something else
afterward (or not.) you conduct yourself accordingly.
but say, after a few years of this life stuff you come to believe that
maybe it's not all as simple as that. maybe you come to believe that
you're riding around in a mortal vehicle for a purpose and it's possible
that if you don't successfully achieve your purpose, you may have to
conTINue riding around in mortal vehicles until you DO complete your
mortal mission so to speak.
what then.
to me, it (life) becomes sort of like that old autobiography poem
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I'm in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in... it's a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
I walk down another street.
i mean...all through the entire DT series i kept thinking that Roland
was becoming more and more aware that he was walking down the
same street over and over again. in the end, he absolutely knew
he'd been falling in the same hole.
i was sure that in the end he'd changed some important things.
but the book ended on that note.
doesn't anyone besides me want to see Roland walk down a different
street?
