Its easy to get lost in these difficult times where worldly conflicts affect our day to day lives to a point we are stressed out over it. Its a natural reaction to injustice and one could think that if one is not angry , one is not paying attention. However, as Jedi we are urged to keep the connection to our empathic self. To make the choices that are within our reach ,to make this world a better place , even if it is just for one person within your reach. When we suppress these feelings we can become anxious and feel helpless. Its important we recognize these emotions in ourselves and deal with them. I cannot tell you what to vote for with oceans between us, i cannot tell you how to live your life , i can only remind you what we as Jedi believe and hope that you are the best Jedi you can be. This is not a lecture , this is a reminder! A reminder to stay warm,soft and resilient without being a doormat. To keep the connection with Jedi everywhere and see what connects us , our beliefs.
Jedi Believe
In the Force, and in the inherent worth of all life within it.
In the sanctity of the human person. We oppose the use of torture and cruel or unusual punishment, including the death penalty.
In a society governed by laws grounded in reason and compassion, not in fear or prejudice.
In a society that does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or circumstances of birth such as gender, ethnicity and national origin.
In the ethic of reciprocity, and how moral concepts are not absolute but vary by culture, religion and over time.
In the positive influence of spiritual growth and awareness on society.
In the importance of freedom of conscience and self-determination within religious, political and other structures.
In the separation of religion and government and the freedoms of speech, association and expression.
Can Jedi change the world? Sure, you start helping one person at a time, with one act of charity and understanding. These acts , however small, have an impact. In a world of extreme darkness a little candle can be seen from a great distance.
Be that little candle.
