A ten or twelve year old kid who suddenly finds out he or she has the weight of the world on their shoulders I can sympathize with. But I figure someone in their late teens-or older-should get over it and do what needs to be done.
I dunno, I think for me it is more complex than that, If you are terrified of the job you MUST do (like Sameth) you better NEVER EVER do it, especially if this is an important job, otherwise you can bring trouble to everyone. Fear of something is not an easy thing to control, I think.
Sameth is a problem for me, but in a different way. I found the trilogy slightly on the "positive discrimination" side, in a sense that all the girls are fearless and awesome and all the boys are much weaker.
