Ethics [Tuesday, March 16]
"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 be a soft touch on the subject, but he was hoping no one in the room would call him on it. Given that his daughter was in the room, the likelihood of that not happening were ones not even a Corellian would bet on.
"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 under 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 the Masters of my Order were trying to prevent?"

... Sure. Ask the severely repressed, emotionally retarded British prince about feelings.
"But restraint will keep you from showing unnecessary weakness. You can hardly serve on as a warrior if you can't keep yourself from lashing out or crying or something."
All right, so Uther Pendragon might have been able to find some common ground with these Jedi masters.

Which didn't keep Arthur from doing things like riding out to save a servant long before he even knew how important said servant could be, but he'd reasoned that one out at the time. Yes.
