Interesting how Desmond's pre island life was getting him ready for his island life.

In the monestary he took a vow of silence. This prepared him for the silence he had while in the hatch for 3 years. After Kelvin died he had noone to talk to.


We all wondered why Desmond didn't go crazy pushing that button every 108 minutes and also didn't go crazy because he had noone to socialize with.

That's a really good point. When they first mentioned the vow of silence, my mind immediately went to Eko and his vow of silence. Interesting parallel..

Well, he got to the point where he was going to kill himself. And he was only alone for 44 days

isnt it what everybody's previous lives did?prepare them for their island life!just a thought...
