Best scene in Lost ever.

Here is one BIG reason I love Lost: I love the interplay of fate and destiny vs. the power of human choice and spirit.  And I love this scene with Richard and Jacob.  Allegories make my life so happy.  And I'm so glad Lost turned out to be one.  Now if only all the characters would stop being stupid and get with the big picture.

We're here to learn how to become, not here to live our lives out as robots.  We receive guidance, but no one can make decisions for us. Yes, that means we can be taken advantage of, injured, and even die.  But the end goal will make us better than we are now.  Our actions are what determine whether or not we are good or evil.  Not fate or destiny.
