I think i may be going over to the dark side

red heron i know this might sound odd.
but can you teach me to move objects with the force already?

Many of us here dont believe in a dark side of the force

or a light side - or a pink, red, blue green, yellow etc etc etc etc

The force is the force.

Now you may have 'dark' thoughts, wants, needs desires etc - and trust me - we all do at some point - its a part of being a human. 'darkside' is intentionally doing bad things - or allowing your temper to get the better of you and you hurt someone - but its also possible to act out light things for dark intentions (flattery can be one of these) or you may need to do a dark thing to get a light end - eg the old saying ' the truth hurts'

now to really confuse you - what you may think of as a good light act maybe a dark act to someone else

but to keep it real simple - knowingly and intentionally doing bad things is 'darkside' aka wrong

The force is the force whatever you do - and yes you can 'use' the force to do bad things like wise good things (light or dark) but the force remains what it is - its YOU and your actions/deeds/intentions that are light or dark

But as we all know - life is rarely as simple as black n white (or light n dark)

At the end of the day - if you give in easily to darker things - you really will find it addictive - and one day - youll wake up with a whole heap of regrets and quite probably - have done things you cant make up for to those you hurt

and in all honesty - the person you really hurt the most is yourself

If youve come here to learn how to shoot lightning from your finger or raise your x-wing from the pond - sorry to disappoint you - but you wont find that here - or a schematic for a working lightsaber (and yoda was fired last week )

master kana is right...the only light or dark is in the human psyche....the force is simply the energy of life, it doesn't care if something is light or dark because all are necessary...

the only true light or dark resides within each of us and it's a matter of perspective. as he said what one person views as being light someone else will view as dark. likewise sometimes something dark has to be done for light results and vice-versa

it's our intentions that determine the desired result.

Inside of you there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil.
The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all of the
time.

One dog wins. The one you feed.

That's the first step and then you go from there. Let us know how you do.

True up to a point. The result is also determined by the view, real needs and situation of the recipient as well. Sometimes we can do some real damage through well ment actions.

That is where the second line of our code comes in, concerning Knowledge.
