Ethics [Tuesday, March 10, 2nd period]

"Love is patient, love is kind," Anakin began, looking down at his notes, then snorted and 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 my version of the Jedi Order, we were taught that in order to maintain the proper distance necessary to negotiate impartially across our galaxy, we were to strive for serenity, not passion. To be Jedi, we should not know anger, or hatred...or love. When we were very small children, we were raised in the Temple so that family loyalty or planetary allegiance would not get in the way of following the will of the Force."

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

"People are always going to fall in love or think they're in love, whatever. You can't stop people from being morons," Chuck said with a slight frown. "It's been my experience that people that think they are in love tend make stupid decisions. And when the inevitable dumping or abandonment happens then they make even worse decisions or become emo and useless. That's probably what they were trying to prevent."

Chuck really, really felt strongly about the whole love thing being a complete waste of time and energy. He totally was not mentioning anger or hatred because he sooooo couldn't go into that without being a hypocrite.

"I don't think it's realistic," Tony said. "You can't turn off stuff like anger and love. You can redirect it or squish it down and ignore it or whatever, but it won't just go away."

"I just don't think it's possible to tell people what to feel," Dor replied. "It's probably not healthy either."

"I don't claim to understand anything about love," Helen said. "But from what I have seen, people don't seem able to stop themselves from it."

"It seems to show a remarkable lack of understanding about human nature," Wendy said after a while. "Oh, and Ben says 'hi'." Which he hadn't, but she wasn't going to let that get in the way of making a point.

"Dude, people feel things, that's what makes us people," Hurley said. "Without that, we'd be, like... robots or something."

Temari was there and looking... maybe friendly enough for a hello.

Probably not.

"Love is a dangerous emotion," Temari said, looking away carefully. "It can be warped and twisted by others until you aren't able to recognize it anymore."
