This is an interesting alternate explanation. I think most have been content with the idea that
the benevolence is a result of the principle that we tend to become the role we play. I wonder if
it will appeal to those readers who prefer nuts and bolts explanations over literary ones.
I was trying to think of text evidence of Pas having elements of being a slave. For some reason
the phrase "god of gods, slave of slaves" popped into my head. But I don't even know if this
phrase is in the Sun series. Is it bibilical? Google and Urth Archives searches were no help.
Anyone?
