[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8885828, member: 6790260"] And yet the Jedi were [I]singularly garbage[/I] at actually processing and discharging hate. You will, sometimes, hate things. You must learn to identify when that is happening, and techniques which will let you respond to that hate without letting it control you. Pretending that you can avoid having problems by simply never feeling negative/destructive/harmful emotions is self-destructive, and worse, it creates an inherent guilt/shame complex, where new destructive emotions will be created because of the destructive emotions you're already feeling. (Of course, the actual fact of the matter is, Lucas allowed his sometimes-unpleasant life experiences between the end of the original trilogy and the start of the prequel trilogy to shape the doctrines of the Jedi, making them into painfully idiotic, blinded dogmatists who have become ossified in a dangerously unstable structure just waiting for a Force-powerful, charismatic, emotional individual to throw the whole system out of whack. This stumbled backwards into an actually interesting idea, that the Jedi of a generation or two before the Clone Wars had been manipulated by the Sith into being self-destructive dogmatists, presenting Darths Tenebrous, Plagueis, and Sidious as talented master manipulators who were able to soft-shape the psychology of the entire Jedi Order over time to set up their revenge.)
