[TM: Do you feel that you were born with a predetermined role in society? If so, how do you feel abo
OK, I decided the fish question was spun. not only was it offensive to piscine-Americans, but the people that I know probably aren't the people you know. So, although there are a few histroical figures Buffy Summers I would like to slap, I chose a question from the beginning.
Do you feel that you were born with a predetermined role in society? If so, how do you feel about it?
OK, the answer to that's obvious isn't it? Chosen one, right? That's pretty rutting predetermined. How do I feel? Great, I love it. Seriously, being the Slayer's rocketship. It's fun.
But if I wasn't the Slayer? If I was just another thief running for just another radie in Haddyn, would I feel the same way? And the answer there is: probably not. I don't think that it was inevitable that my mother would leave, or my father would die, or I'd get Harth killed and run away from Erin.
I don't think that I didn't have a choice. I don't think I was ever predestined to end up livin' in the slums, thieving for a living. I made decisions that led to it. I chose to take Harth on a grab the night that he died. I chose not to go home when I was discharged from the hospital. I chose to do those things I did afterwards. I chose to start working for Gunther.
So no, I don't think my role is predetermined. I don't think anyone's is. That would be far too depressing a thought. I chose to become a thief. I accept the consequences of those choices.
