Lost souls

Watch Lost so I think I will do my diary and the TV description in two seprate blog sessions.
I suddenly understand that this TV program is talking about a bunch of lost souls. Tom Sawyer is lost not only because the airplane crashed, but he had killed the wrong man and hasn't really avenged his mother. Charlie has lost his dignity because he had no money and Ethan had taken away his freedom. He killed because he was insecure. Kate killed because she had to, but she regreted it immensely because she killed the one she loved the most. Jack has lost his father without saying goodbye. The kid lost his mother, and his father lost the years with him when he was young. Lock has gained the ability to walk, but noone loves him so he is a lost soul. Sayed lost his lover.
This episode deals with murders. I thought it wasn't LOST because we see a little boy and his mother is being murdered by a man. He hides under the bed so he can't find him.
Sawyer grows up. He finds the killer in Australia, and buys shrimp from him. However, before his death, Sawyer finds out that he is not the killer so essentially he has killed the wrong guy.
Charlie is dealing with post traumatic syndrome of killing Ethan. He works extremely hard on everything. Hurley buries Ethan with Charlie and he suggests to Sayed that he should talk with Charlie. He relates a story of killing a bomb maker in a firing squard and having nightmares after the kill. Charlie should talk about the incident with other people and not bottle up his feelings.
Sawyer meets Jack's father in a pub. He inadvertently urged Sawyer to kill his mother's killer by saying that he should not lie down and take life as fate. He finds out from Jack that his father said "That's why the Red Socks never wins, because it is fate." Jack doesn't believe in fate, but his father does and do nothing to it.
Kate hunts the boar with Sawyer, they meet Lock, who said that Sawyer shouldn't blame himself for his mother's death, and shouldn't blame the boar for dragging his tent and eating his food, and shouldn't blame himself for killing the wrong man.
It is an amazing program. These people all had a past that haunts them, in dreams and memories they remeber the good days, the bad days, the sad days, and the happy days of their former life. Even though they are living on the island together, they can't get away from the past. The past makes who they are now and all their actions are dictated by their past experience. That's what made LOST such an interesting program and that's why I love it.
