Personal Thought I would like to share... was created by Jack.Troutman
Being a Jedi is a unique thing. Each of us found ourselves following the Jedi path for our own, personal reasons. Some of us for the philosophy, some for the religious aspect, and still others just to have a guiding light in a world that seems to have gone to Hell. I cannot, and refuse to speak for others in this regard. Personally however, I have been on the Jedi path for a long time, “formally” only just over a year. I have teachers that are students, students who are teachers, and peers that have helped me shape my own path and form my own view on how I interpret the Force. Just because I see something one way does not mean that others do, or should see things my way. Just because others may hear the shriek of a whistle does not mean I can’t hear the music in that same whistle. We are on the Path for different and very personal reasons. I want to learn all I can and hearing the protests and points of view by others is part of my learning. I someday hope to learn enough to be able to help another along their path. In the meantime, I plan on continuing to learn, I plan on making many, many more mistakes and I plan on ever moving forward. Sometimes that forward movement may be slow in the extreme, but I will push forward to better myself and hopefully better the world around me in some small way. Some of us are quiet, some are loud, and some opinionated. These are all good things. Please tell me your opinions on my posts. Let me know not only if you like, but if you dislike something. But do me the honor of giving me your point of view as to why so I may grow with the help of your insight and knowledge and unique perspective.
If you have given me the honor of a few minutes of your time by reading this, thank you.
May the Force be not only with us, for it always is, but give us guidance and strength and understanding as well.
Peace, Love, and Light to you all my brothers, sisters, mentors, and friends. Be safe and well.
