In this topic I will offer a short list of how the Dark Side mistakes I've made have given me valuable lessons that shape my path with the light today. And I will also be open to questions about my mistakes and lessons, so please feel free to ask about them freely. I am no Master, and I do not claim to possess the same wisdom, but I hope that my knowledge can help others.
In my dark past I have let hatred and anger lead me to a life ruled by violence. Violence always came naturally to me, and I found that I have an ability to see and immediately be able to replicate nearly any Martial Art that I witnessed. Even sword styles, and other weapons. As a result fighting was a part of my life from a young age. And the fact that at just 11 years old I suffered a highly traumatising event only made the Dark Side easier to find. But through that path I learned many important lessons. After watching several of my friends die in front of me as a result of my own arrogance and lack of care for my fellow fighters, I learned that no situation should be approached in ignorance. Another lesson I learned came after my over confidence resulted in injury. I won the fight, but at the cost of having my clavicle, left arm, and left side ribs broken. From this I learned that confidence must be met with a level headed attitude, and channeled into clear, focused actions.
I could list many more, but I suppose that endlessly reading my initial post isn't the point of this topic. I am very interested to see what questions may arise from others and I am more than willing to answer your questions. So one more time, if you have any questions whatsoever, please ask. I will answer to the best of my ability in order to offer any help that I can.
