Ethics [Thursday, November 29, 1st period]
Anakin stalked into the room and slammed the door shut behind him.
"Today we talk about wrath," he said. Ignore the pointed look he gave John Sheppard. Really.
"There's something very human about giving in to our temper," he said. "It's freeing, uncomplicated."
He paused. "At least at that moment. The repercussions are always waiting."
He waved a hand and the holoprojector flipped to life. Frozen in time was a young Jedi with two lightsabers at the neck of an older, clearly defeated enemy.
"This was me," he said, pointing at the young man. "And that older man was evil and threatened my family. It didn't make the choice I made--to kill him while he knelt there--any less wrong."
He looked around the classroom making eye contact with every student before continuing. "Wrath is very, very tempting. It urges you to listen to that dark little voice inside of you--to cut loose, live without consequences."
He pointed at the holo again. "There are always consequences. This moment has stayed with me, made me the person I am. It wasn't a positive influence."
Anakin stopped pacing. "What would it take for you to get to that hazy edge? And more importantly, how do you stop yourself from giving in?"
