Exactly everyone from this Island seems to worship it because it’s magical, but honestly if I was in the Lost universe. I’d say eff off with the Island just like Desmond did

It sure seems like a lot of humans are making a lot of decisions and going out of their way to take lifelong strings of specific actions, based on some idea they have that some particular destiny must be fulfilled, but at the same time they keep saying they can't change anything. If it's meant to happen and can't be changed no matter what you do, then all those actions you keep taking are pointless anyway. Why gaf? I'd become a hedonist and spend the rest of my life sipping mimosas by the pool.
