Okay, I'm no good at Buddhist philosophy. So help me out.
I really hate the idea that the wheel will turn, and this whole ordeal will eventually happen again. Are all these guys/gals destined to keep being churned out in the Pattern for all eternity, learning the same lessons about life and humanity and love and darkness?
Is there no eternal rest for the souls of these characters?
Are there infinite variations of the Last Battle's outcome? If so, wouldn't some of those be the Dark One dying or the Pattern being destroyed?
I find at least some sense of finality in Rand's new patch on the prison - the last one was done 3,000 years ago in a flawed way. Does the new patch just delay the process longer until the new Breaking? Or is it permanent?
I'm just left with a very unsatisfied feeling in the pit of my stomach, and want some sort of resolution to the battle that's been happening in the last 14 books. I would hate to exist in a world where I'm fighting the same battles all the time, for eternity.
I'm sure people have posted this before, but I'm new. Forgive me.
