– Gold mentioning Belle’s desire to see the world. It was nice to see someone talking about Belle as a person who has feelings and desires. Far too often, she’s treated as nothing more than a pawn in people’s games against The Dark One. It makes me sad to remember the girl who wanted to decide her own fate.
BUT is that not the way LIFE IS? We are often pawns to forces outside ourselves …. some good, some bad… Employers, family and relatives, friends…significant others, the bank that holds the mortgage on your home…the idiot driver on the road …Mundane but true….
I do not think we decide our own fate as much as react to the results of the decisions we make or are thrust upon us by others.
