The amount of pointless descriptions of shit we’ve read over and over (Kahlan’s green eyes, Richard’s golden WAR WIZARRRD cape, Mord-Sith red leather…) is truly stunning. Instead of an 11-book series, I’m fairly certain it could have been cut to about 6. While the first book was mindless fun, in the following books I have read ad nauseum about Richard’s Raptor Gaze, the word TRUTH pressing into his palm, his anger rising and magical RAAAGE surging, simply wanting to be a woodsman, oh I’m a War Wizard but can’t use magic, convoluted morals, and some other shit that my numbed brain can’t quite recall at the moment. That leaves me with 7 to go in the series. Now, since I have what I could consider mild OCD when it comes to finishing series, I have plowed through the books and am on the… 4th? book, Temple of the Winds. Remembering a series that my friends were going batshit for when I was living in Florida, I downloaded Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind. A while ago, I was surfing for books on my Kindle, and decided I wanted a Fantasy novel.

We did the best we could with what we had to work with even if we thought we were making a wrong choice at the time we made it, our best was still to make that “wrong” choice, knowing it was “wrong.” It was still the right “wrong” choice. To suggest that we could have chosen a different path is to imagine that we could have been someone different than who we were in that moment. Life could not have gone any other way than the way it did, or it would have. Had we been able to make a different choice, we would have made it. The only choice we could have made was the one we made, precisely because it’s the one we did make. While it may seem like we could have chosen something other than what we chose, this is an utterly false belief, one that creates tremendous suffering. It’s the choice we made at that time, with the intelligence, history, wounds, conditioning, relationships, and everything else we possessed and were at the time. Every choice we make is the right choice, whether or not it leads us to the outcome we desired. 6/30/2023 0 Comments Books by allie broshThis full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written.īrosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh.
