Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday

[unusual_sith]

The classroom was back to normal today, and Lana nodded as they came in. "Today we're going to talk about one of the central tenets of the Sith philosophy: conflict. The Sith observed that in nature, there is conflict, and the strong survive and get stronger, and the species as a whole is improved. This led them to believe that conflict was central to improvement - conflict inspires growth, conflict brings knowledge. Without conflict, life stagnates."

She spread her hands. "How do you feel about that? Is it true in nature? Is it true in personal or galactic relations? Should it be? Let me hear your agreements and disagreements and the reasons behind them."

Thoughtfully! Or in conflict.

What are your feelings on the Sith belief in conflict?

"I think," Libby offered, after taking some time to really think about it and put it into perspective, "that conflict can be a good opportunity for growth, but it's not only way, so conflict just for the sake of growth seems a little unnecessary. For example, it was a pretty big conflict that lead me to coming here, and I grew a lot from that experience, but most of the growth I've had since coming here hasn't involved hardly any conflict at all, just next experiences and perspectives. And I feel the second kind is much more...enriching, though I suppose I wouldn't have had the second kind, if not for the first."

Lana nodded. "And while conflict can lead to good, strong change, if you haven't got the time to process it, it can be counterproductive." She grinned. "I do believe we're back to the concept of balance."

And Libby gave a faint grin back.

"Hmmmm," she hummed, overly thoughtful. "You're right. You know, it's almost as if there might actually be something to it!"

"Almost," Lana agreed cheerfully.

Talk to Lana!

She's here! And she won't make you fight her in order to listen.

OOC!

I could do with less conflict with my computer, honestly.
