Our worlds survival

Post by illender »

If remember right in the first book the note that the old begger gives covenant states that if the world of the land is destroyed our world will lack the inner strength to survive. Granted i have not finished aate(incase there is more that relates to this, im half way through), do you guys think that the actual survival of our world is depend on the land?

Heh...if you're right, you should spam everywhere that you were right [ok...not spam, but definitely blow your horn pretty loud right in O's ear].

I'm not at all sure that you are wrong...but I suspect if there's an effect on the "real" world it would be something insidious, creeping, very long term, not a literal and sudden demonic [Lord Foulic?] invasion or Worm chowing down.
And, still speculating, but nearly 100% confident, it's a story that would never be written.

I'm gonna have to think about this on my next reread, but perhaps it's something more metaphorical...as in without places like the land, and people to see them [even if they're "not real" literally] something important would be lost from our existence.

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.
