Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday

"I hope you all enjoyed your holiday," Lana said, smiling. "I thought today we might ease back into things with a discussion. There are debates among the Sith, as with most other groups I know, as to the importance of preserving traditions, versus growing and adapting. A few years ago, the Sith Empire faced a threat from a Sith lord that decided the Empire wasn't changing fast enough, and that the best way to get it to do so wasa to take it over and force it to.

"So, do you think forcing people to change works? How do you preserve the past and work toward the future? Should you do both? Should you prioritize one over the other? Let's discuss it."

"I think," said Libby, and, boy, had she been thinking about this sort of thing a lot lately!, "that tradition can be very, very important, and there's a lot to be said about upholding it, but I don't think it's for everyone. Some people fit very nicely into those boxes, and they're good for carrying it on, but there are others who don't really fit, no matter how many different ways you try to twist or turn it....so they're better off finding something that does fit. And maybe finding new traditions."

She gave Lana a light, uncertain smile.

'They have to start somewhere, right?"

"Of course." Lana nodded. "How do you think people should go about finding what fits? And to what extent should they try to change the minds of those who prefer the traditions?"
