Ethics [Thursday, November 4, 1st 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, the ring on his left hand gleaming in the light, 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?"

Listen to the lecture [11/4]

Their cracked-out dogma kind of explains Anakin's lightsaber up the butt, y/y?

This...was a short lecture and, for that, Jonas was thankful. Still, he felt his heart pang uncomfortably at the word 'love' and had to duck his head and try to calm himself down.

Listening to the lecture, Katchoo punctuated it with several very loud snorts.

Maron's eyes just got bigger and bigger as she listened to the lecture.

What?

Angela decided she could never be a Jedi. It wasn't the love thing that got her. No, it was the fact that there were a lot of people deserving of hatred out there. Or if not hatred, at least severe dislike that looked like hated. And anger. It was the only thing some people would understand, okay?

Raven might have been tempted just a liiiiiiiittle to call Anakin on his attitude about love, because she'd seen him when he talked about Rory and Juliet. But she would never contradict him in front of the class. Nor would she roll her eyes. But she just may have given him a eyebrow and a bitch, please, I've seen you with the baby pictures look.

Tara thought the Jedi were pretty much insane, but she had to admit that - if she tried to be logical -- she could see their point. They just went about it all ... catawampus.
