Ethics [Thursday, March 6]

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?"

"It's not unreasonable at all," said Hoshi. "Back home, there's a humanoid species from the planet Vulcan who believe in reason and logic over emotion. They are the most calm, serene people I've ever met, and it seems to work for them. They have no anger, hatred, or love." T'Pol was totally going to prove her wrong on that.

"If you can control emotions, then you can control your fear." At least, that's why Hoshi practiced Vulcan meditation.
