Karma?

jerry maguire · 04-03-2006, 04:32 PM

could this whole thing be about karma? last season jack found some dead bodies that he said had been there about 40 or fifty years. he then reached into one of their pockets and found two stones, one was black and the other white. That got me thinking about the chinese symbol: http://lawncare.blogs.com/photos/unc...ed/yinyang.gif

looks like the Dharma symbol, plus dharma rhymes with karma

think about it for a second, locke gets screwed out of a kidney and possibly love, then becomes paralyzed. he did it for love and got the shaft so he got to the island where he found peace and purpose. Eko had to turn his life back to the right path and do good to make up for all the sin. kate killed an evil man, and was punished for doing justice, then on her way back to prison the plane crashed , the marshall who was escorting her is killed, and she can live free on the island.

any thoughts? has anyone ever made this connection, that is to say, is this old news?

Actually, I think it's a basic theme that runs through the series, but I don't think it's the reason they are there.
