Ethics [Thursday, March 6]

[sith_happened]

His plans to go tuxedo shopping soon must have been on Anakin's mind when he'd planned this week's lesson.


"Love is patient, love is kind," he began, then made the universal symbol for "blah, blah, blah" with his hand.

He might secretly be a soft touch on the subject, but he was hoping no one in the room would call him on it.

"In the Jedi Order, we were taught that in order to maintain proper distance, to negotiate impartially across our galaxy, we were to strive for serenity, not passion. To be proper Jedi, we should not know anger, or hatred, or love."

He crossed his arms over his chest and glanced around the room. "Is this an unreasonable standard to hold someone to? What do you think they were trying to prevent?"

Wonder what the Jedi were smoking...

Karal snorted and laid his ears back.

He was not at all impressed with the whole Jedi notion of repressing emotions, and it showed.

Savannah was a bit boggled. Suppressing emotions led to bad things in her experience.

Lana was still too upset about Dr. Wilson leaving without any warning to think much of love right now. She wasn't doing a particularly good job of supressing her own emotions and certainly didn't think it was possible or healthy for people to be required to at all times.

Keeping emotions in check just couldn't be healthy for a person. Amber thought the Jedi must be a very stressed out people.

Anemone seemed to recall a certain Jedi making toys for his son's child, so she was doing her very best to keep a straight face during the lecture. Projecting pictures of dancing Ewoks at the professor would be bad form. Really.

Okay, it would be funny, but she still wasn't going to do it.

Romeo hunched over as he listened. A life without envy, hatred or love sounded like no life at all to him.

Adah was trying to ignore two things at the start of class as she smoothed out her notebook on her desk. The first was that she could probably write, verbatim, all of the 1 Corinthians 13 that Skywalker had started out with, as well as the 87 verses of 1 Corinthians that preceded it and excuse her a moment as she snorted.

The other thing she was trying to ignore was the bottom right hand corner of her notebook looking an awful lot like something with dull teeth for chewing plants had torn it up in her quest to seemingly chew on everything.

Wyatt really didn't want to be in class today, but he thought it might be a distraction from thinking about Isabel. He was very wrong and had to struggle to keep his composure.

Anakin shot him a concerned look--Wyatt's mind was being very...loud...today.

Re: Listen to the lecture [March 6]

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt wasn't aware he was being that loud. He tried to focus on the lecture, but he kept reliving what had happened to Isabel and what he could've done to prevent it.

Adam had been taught to show his feelings, not bottle them up inside. Bad things happened that way.

This really wasn't a new concept to Hoshi. She figured that the Jedi and the Vulcans must have a lot in common.
