As I am watching the series again for the forth or fifth time, I am catching on to things that I just never understood before. John Locke was always looking for approval, always wanted to be accepted for his faith and what he believed was going to happen. But no one would give him that satisfaction. His father or co-workers, and he even reached out to a lady on a call service. He always said "Don't tell me what I can't do" . He truly believed that your limitations was just a excuse not to live, even when he was confined to a wheel chair before the crash.
Jack believed there was nothing you could not fix, but he was never able to fix what mattered most. He worked on a patient in the hospital that his father started but was not able to finish because he was under the influence. I truly believe the only reason he turned his father in was he wanted to fix the problem for the hospital. He could not fix the patient, but he could make this right. He did not give up on the patient because he wanted to fix his fathers mistake. He wanted to move to the caves because there was water and it seemed safe and everyone was closer together, he wanted to fix the discord among the people. He did not want to be the leader, but everyone went to him to lead
Jack and Locke worked together but while Locke may have trusted Jack, Jack never listened to Locke and fought him every step of the way. Jack wanted to fix and Locke wanted to have faith and let the problem fix it's self. It makes sense how the series ended, in Locke becoming the smoke monster and Jack knowing the soul of the monster. They killed each other if you think about it. You could almost say that the destiny that Locke always talked about was about the end story for Jack and Locke.
Locke was always wanting Jack acceptance from season one, he gave up and attempted to hang himself, but he failed, when he decided to live Ben Linus killed him because he knew what John would become if he got Jack to take the body back to the island. It was the way life worked on the island, it was part of the secret of the island, and Ben knew a lot of secrets.
But it was meant for Locke to die and and face off against Jack, In the end Jack was the one that had to leave science behind and have faith, other wise he would not have beaten Locke. But my question is did Jack find faith to late and because he waited so long he died on the island? According to what his father said in the final episode , not everyone died on the island, some did make it home to live out their lives. I think the story of Lost is about Destiny and getting it right. Would it not be interesting if your destiny was wrong and you crash on a island? Every character on the show had their issues with destiny
