Yoda and getting off topic.


               What is your favourite quote?
               This is a significantly better question than the one from yesterday. Mostly because I don’t know off the top of my head, and therefore will actually have to think about it rather than mindlessly putting down like 5 lines and moving on.
               I’m not 100% sure what I want to say is my favourite quote. It’s gotta be something simple, yet meaningful. Also not obscure, I actually want people to know what I’m talking about on this one.  I think there is one really neat quote from the Star Wars prequels is when Yoda is discussing something related to revenge or something. “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” It’s just so insightful and so simple at the same time. Like if you think about it, people naturally fear what they do not know or understand then they get angry trying to stop whatever they don’t understand and it leads to absolutely no good. Everyone suffers when people are allowed to act freely about things they do not understand, and I truly think that it is because of this path of darkness Yoda describes, so how do you combat it? Teach people, kindly inform them that they have nothing to fear with new things and you’ll have a lot less problems.
               Not sure how I went from my fav quote to trying to give some silly cliché life lesson about understanding and kindness. Oh well, it happens when you try to be smart and insightful sometimes. Cya tomorrow. 


This guy taught me more about right and wrong then any teacher I ever had.
