Hello once again avid readers(a.k.a. no one)! I was brousing the
Jedi forum, as I often do, and I found an interesting quote. This blog is about that quote.
______________________________
"Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same thing as love. Controlling your passions while being in love, that's what they should teach you to beware, but love itself will save, not condemn you. "
- Jolee Bindo
Now some can say that Jolee Bindo was a grey Jedi because of his views on the Force and the Jedi but I say that he was only a true Jedi. This views are what Luke Skywalker based his New Jedi Order off of. So was he really grey, or just ahead of his time?
Think of this, if love supossovely led to the dark side then why was balance brought back because of it? The Jedi were against love all these years and there was no balance, only a prophocey. But when Anakin saw his son being tortured, only then out of love could he destroy the Emperor and bring back balance.
So from this you could say that love was the thing missing from the Jedi's teachings. And once love was thrown into the equation it all balances out. So in the end Jolee was right and if you can control your passion you can be a great Jedi.
