Ethics [Thursday, October 28]
"Today we talk about wrath," he said. "There's something very human about giving in to our temper," he said, then paused. "At least at that moment. The repercussions are always waiting."
He waved a hand and the holoprojector flipped to life, showing the blue alien from last week . "As a Padawan who wasn't prone to following the instructions of my master," his eyes met each student who had also made that choice as he spoke, "I was captured aboard Krayn's ship, enslaved--again--and set to work in his spice refining plants underground on Nar Shaddaa. My master escaped, and I didn't see him for almost a month. The intervening time was not pleasant."
He looked around the classroom making eye contact with every student before continuing. "I was angry and alone, and at a time like that wrath is very, very tempting. It urges you to listen to that dark little voice inside of you--to cut loose, live without consequences."
He pointed at the holo again. "There are always consequences. At the end of this story, I faced Krayn in combat, ignored the advice of my master again," which was a theme in Anakin's stories, "and stabbed Krayn through the chest with my lightsaber. I was thirteen. That decision shaped much of my training as a Jedi from then on."
Anakin stopped pacing. "What would it take for you to get to that hazy edge? And more importantly, how do you stop yourself from giving in?"
