a chance to redeem yourself....the price of death whether redeemed or not....whether death is planned (being aware of your death coming like Benry) or unplanned (dying by surprise like Colleen)... How will you live.... Can you redeem yourself for the afterlife (Like Eko) ? Can you be reborn?
living to see fate happen? Awaiting for an answer to help us (Benry)? Being the answer. (Jack)..

I think it meant that he killed all his life to survive. To Eko, all the sins he committed were the cost of living, but it wasn't worth it. His body survived but he killed his soul.
Come take a load off at my LJ, enjoy some free fanfic during your stay:
I thought that the cost of living was obviously Eko's actions throughout his life. But then when I thought about the show's title I wondered if it referenced Ben and his need of Jack in order to live. His cost of living, having to saddle up to one of the Losties in order to survive.
Very interesting observation about his murders being his cost of living. The life he was given was not his choice but he did the best he knew how to do with it. He felt the good of those deaths/murders outweighed the bad...

thank you...
I think redemption is a big issue here....
Locke is close to being redeemed it seems also....
Charlie has given up the drugs...
They are next...the cost of their living is their death..........

Sorry, but I sincerely hope this is not the truth!!
To me it was as if "Yemi" (we don't know which Yemi he was - Ecko's Yemi or the Island's Yemi) wanted Ecko to "repent" of his sins. And Ecko basically said, "I didn't sin. I did what I had to do to save my Brother. And if that was a sin, then I don't accept it."
Basically you will have to do that with Kate (I burned my father alive because he beat my mother) or Sawyer (I killed an innocent man I thought was the man who destroyed my family). Each had some type of "extenuating cercumstances" involved with why they did what they did, but it was still wrong.
It is too "trite" to kill "the redeemed" off. Come up with something new!!

The whole idea of Lost is that we have the free will.. We aren't cursed by numbers or born to suffer like Red Sox fans; we suffer because of our own poor choices and the poor choices of others. While Eko likely didn't have a choice as a boy, he most certainly had a choice as a man and he received a second chance after his brother actually sacrificed his life for him. (The idea of Yemi as a Christ figure complete with the "empty tomb" was genius ). Since he didn't use that second chance that Jesus in the guise of Yemi gave him and refused to repent, he was damned.
