Eko when she was young was diagnosed with a diseases which will result in blindness ,this shattered the ideal life her mother head set for her and caused her to run away instead of being strong for Eko . Eko was thus left alone with the destiny of blindness but she choose to accept her faith and simultaneously to struggle against it and so was able to achieve Echolocation,so even of she wasn’t able to change her destiny she changed herself (Paralleling how in stoic thought one should only concern oneself over what one can change). Eko associated herself with The Greenland Shark not just out of a share destiny but also shared isolation .
Eko was able to through her insight “the future” realising that each action has a reason behind it and there’s reason behind reason and also that the consequence’s of actions are born of human actions and emotions (The Method of foresight is a Harmony of Apollonian and Dionysian,Karma is also tied with Stoic Logos). Eko decided to still struggle against Karma which she didn’t want to happen despite knowing that she wouldn’t be able to change much while also accepting that Karma as necessary (Paralleling Absurdism in which one creates meaning despite knowing it’s arbitrariness and Nietzhe’s Amor Fati). Eko also realised that evil will exist as long as desire exists but she choose to struggle to better the world to become such a large power that she could decide the meaning and usage of power while knowing what she was doing was an evil born of her own desires. Her Insight was a double edged sword,it allowed her to thrive but also caused her great sorrow so she tried to surprise that insight by Anchoring herself to The Role of Oracle as she could give herself meaning and a role ,so her becoming a Cult Leader wasn’t only to save the world,additionally helping people as a cult leader also helped serve as a distraction methods (this also paralleles the leap into faith method of Tolstoy at the face of the absurd).
She eventually met Kiruma Tatsuki and after falling in love had a child with him. She foresaw the reason which would be brought to this world would kill Tatsuki . She decided to struggle against this fate,to delay it as much as possible even if that struggling meant orchestrating her own death ,this was more than what she had done with her own blindness as back then she only tried to circumvent the blindness so it can be said that she had been made more courageous at the face of Karma and more willing to struggle (Paralleling how according to Camus,bonds are necessary for struggling against the absurd and also that people have something which they lack and this lack can be circumvented through meeting people who can fill it).
