It can be stated that a human who doesn't follow his role in the grand game, is no better than disregarded piece.
From the men in high castle, to the lowly unborn on the street.
A seven colored Luan is no better than a chicken, and a swan gorgeous white feathers become nothing more than a crimson stain after it is killed.
Only by ascending to higher level of existence can one be said to have escaped his role.
Still, who is to say that this escape is not also part of the role? And that you didn't simply escape into a bigger prison.
