introspection: Jedi vs. Sith

In my Psychology class, we have thus far learned that the first contemporary psychologists used introspection to achieve a means of understanding the human mind. they would analyze their own feelings to come up with a mutual understanding of how the world perceives things and how most things are understood as a whole. I have deceided to continue this idea on, and write about thing that i think about and what makes me think them.

first up on the docket, would i rather be a jedi or a sith. (i am not a nerd!) haha

alrighty, first, i consider the main fact at hand. jedi are good, sith are bad. i want to be a jedi. that was easy...now, for a more in depth approach.

the jedi believe in few things that are very hard for me to understand and deal with. first off, you are one of many, not an individual. you dont achieve results sooner than any others, and you most certainly do not stand out from anyone else. i am a huge believer in the fact that people ARE individuals. they learn in different ways, and see the world in a different light than anyone else. as for the sith, you are in control of yourself. you have the abilities to make the decisions you do, and youre the one who decides where your life goes. 

i also believe that the jedi greatly under develop their abilities. if you have the power, skill, and talent ot be one of the greatest who ever lived, why not go for it? that goes right back to not being able to be an individual. you are expected to conform to these beliefs, styles, and abilities whether or not your opinion matters.

also, the jedi tell you not to put your feelings into what you do. how can you not? why are you expected to fight for a group of down trodden individuals being attacked by a notorious group of bandits if you cannot even sympathize with them? i find it impossible to fight for something that i do not (or cannot) believe in. its an idea that doesnt even make sense!

now, as for the sith, they follow one rule. power. get more of it. its a fairly simple, easy to understand concept. to be quicker, faster, stronger, smarter. thats what our lives are about! always improving! as a student, i get fed this idea daily. we live simply to improve everything about ourselves. 

in the end, even though it may kill me, i would be a sith. i would be constantly improving everything that i am. i would understand more, learn more, BE more.  im sure it is alot easier to give up the will to be good than the will to follow your instinctual acts.
