Being a Jedi in your own simple way
I have always thought that Star Wars is simple a film. No moral stories and just a plain good movie packed with action and a lot of animation.
When I got home yesterday, I hit the couch, slacked a little bit, grabbed a can of soda and played my Star Wars DVD. One line suddenly struck me. “Fear is the path to the dark side, fear is to ANGER, ANGER is to hate, hate leads to suffering.” A simple and pretty understandable statement yet people find it so complicated to accomplish.
Yes it is so hard to do. Fearing something or someone makes most of us feel stressed all the time. Some people hide their fear by simply nurturing an angry feeling which will eventually lead to hatred and into a life full of misery and mishap.
So what do we have to do about this? Face your fear and do not nurture anger. There are ways to do this. Think and dig deeper into your hearts and you will soon find out that fear should not be associated or must not lead to anger and hatred. Not unless you want to be a Dark Vader or something.

That was a cool article. I can totally relate to this. I have a lot of fear. One of my biggest fear is failing. Another fear is being lonely. This article is true because I have found that I do have a lot of anger and I am starting to have hate. One hatred I have come familiar with is the hate for men. Another hate I have is for myself. I do not like myself to much. I am trying to like myself, so here is what I do: One thing I liked about myself is that I cleaned my car. Another thing that I like about myself is that, when I went to pick my car up at the body shop, I asked the man why he didn’t give me estimate. He said,” The insurence is supposed to give you that, why should I waste my time when I can be making $65 on another car for the time it would take to give you an estimate.” So even though he was a rude bastard I did not yell at him. Another thing I like about myself is that I do not take drugs and I don’t drink or smoke. Another thing I like is that even though I am driving around with a car tht has a huge dent in it (cuz I can’t get it fixed right now), I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks. FUCK THEM! At least I don’t have a car payment. Finally, I like that I had a sexual dream about my Doctor and I don’t feel guilty and I don’t care. It was good for me.
