Very well said Br. Lenny, I am in the same boat---I am not all peace and love. I am honest with myself in realizing that Darkness is in all of us, I just dont hide it. I embrace the Light and the Dark that resides in me and what a balance it is.

To obtain inner peace, we must first be honest with ourselves.

and sometimes the hardest person to convince...is yourself.

I'm convinced and my life has gotten much better. I am at peace with myself and see things in much more focus.

Right on Mddeitz! Dealing in absolutes is always a bad idea. You know if you really look at it from all sides, all choices carry with them good and bad consequences. The most we can do is to \"Lean towards the light\". So in my opinion light and dark is really a matter of your own personal perspective. \"The truths we cling to depend largely on ones perspective\" If we're going to understand the repercussions of our words and actions then we really need to be able to see all sides, not just the one we've limited ourselves to due to a movie. Both light and dark are present in us and are needed to survive. Light is only what it is in contrast to darkness. Well now I think I've gotten a little too long winded here and you already get it so I'm out!!
In peace,

Forgive me, with all of your help I have begun to understand that there is no absolutes, especially in spirituality. Because everyone struggles with Darkness(even in the movies), there is no perfect Jedi. We either keep the Darkness in check most of the time, or we become the Darkness.
