Topics in Sith Philosophy, Friday
Lana greeted the class calmly, despite the tinsel caught in her hair. Even the Force hadn't been able to get it all out.
"Today I thought we'd talk about something a little different," she began. "For the most part, I've been presenting aspects of Sith philosophy to you that might be positive or negative, or have aspects of both, and I've been doing my best not to be judgmental. Today I would like to present to you an aspect of Sith beliefs that, while it follows logically from the basics of the philosophy, is absolutely not to be followed."
She crossed her arms. "The belief that the strong should lead is admirable, although the meaning of that strength is debatable. However, what it has led to in the Sith Empire, and what is only recently being changed, is the belief that only Sith are strong, only Sith deserve to rule. Practically, this has led to non-Force users largely being relegated to second place, and non-human and non-Sith species being treated as lesser beings. So, what we should discuss, rather than debating if this is a good thing, is how this may have come about, how to work through it as a culture to learn better, and if you see any aspects of this in your own cultures and how you can work through them."
She paused. "Preferably not by attempting a violent coup." Malgus.
