    For my part I often felt Roland's world truer than ours... I might be sick to feel this way but that's the truth.
    I am sure the people in the Calla could be happy when they didn't think of their curse.
    The way I see it people can be happy and sad anywhere.

    Roland would have understood.

    I'm with Liz on this, I don't think most of the folk in Mid-World are happy with everything falling apart at the seams. The Callas seem like the exception, with the exception to that being the Wolves stealing their kids every generation.

    And how do we know there are no more many villages like the Calla?

    Roland would have understood.

    Well we can only go by what Roland has said and what we see throughout the series. There might be other communities that are happy but it seems not. By the way there are many Callas remember?

    I'd say a hard life and a bad life are distinctly different. And a great life can be both greatly good and greatly bad. I'm sure they had lives filled with both joy and sorrow, as all of us do.

    Same here. And they know so much more than anyone else does anyway so why only 2 manni and so many gunslingers ? This totally lacks logic, doesn't it ?
    I have to admit I had a hard time choosing between the 2, though.

    I couldn't live like a Manni. I can't live without roots.. I know they have roots and they know where they belong to but they are big travellers and I can't imagine myself as a big traveller. I love travelling but it couldn't be my lifestyle.

    Roland would have understood.

    I love travelling as I've told you and it could actually be my lifestyle as long as I stayed enough time in one place to become familiar with it. Anyway, the Manni interested me a lot because they're way more knowledgeable than all the other creatures in Roland's world.
