First time poster here. I think Kaladin’s issue and his next step is along the leading side. His guilt comes from his belief that he can change things or fix things or prevent things. Kaladin is hyper competent and this leads to an arrogance or overconfidence. It makes sense that Windrunners would need an oath to restrain them from tyrannical style leading or even benevolent authoritarian behaviors. I think Kalandin needs to learn to give others agency even if it puts them at risk. He needs to learn that his guilt is can be an excuse to deny people their freedom to choose and to lead their own lives. I’m starting to believe that his fourth oath will be something like “I will not protect everyone” both acknowledging that he can’t but also affirming that he won’t.
