It was said in another thread…
When I see stuff like this it makes me think and stirs something inside me. We don’t ask warriors for war… we wage war and ask warriors for victory. The soldier in me wants to fight tyranny, the parent in me wants to care for the young and nurture them, my human nature is to care for those around me and every part of me says that as a Jedi I should do something about injustice, intolerance, oppression and aid in the prevention of suffering.
Some will argue that suffering is a part of life; that we can’t avoid conflict. I do not disagree. What makes us different is that we choose to act when others stand idly by. It’s not whether we rid the world of hurt or are able to win every battle… it’s that we try!
Jedi is my "job" already ...
As such, I generally ask artists for art and bakers for baked goods, warriors for war and so on and so forth -- all the while acknowledging the human being that is there before the cultivation of any particular skill set.

I think about this kind of thing all the time.. What is happening now in the world..
It makes me sad..
I watch people eating huge amounts of "food" and think of those who have very little or none..
Every time I'm cold and turn on my heater I think of those who can't do that.. same with anything else, really..
I think about it all very, very often..

Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

That is an extraordinary campaign! Just brilliant.
And at the same time, it makes me very sad.
