"Listening to the Force, feeling it...it is a skill I have practiced for a long time now. And no, droids are not alive in the way we are; the Force cannot see them, nor they it. As for emotions..." she looks away, trying to think of words to use."It's exactly that the Force amplifies emotions. Rather, through the Force all living things are one. To feel the Force is to feel that connection, and that connection includes emotions...thoughts...knowledge. One of the dangers that the Jedi train to deal with is losing oneself in the Force...having the line between 'self' and 'other' thin too much. But that isn't why the Jedi Code teaches us to abandon passion.""That is because passion, the force of unrestrained, indiscriminate emotion, can command the Force but without the discernment and wisdom of our mind. Imagine every time you might have, in a fit of frustration, wished someone dead...only to have that fleeting, vindictive wish come true. Imagine the chaos. The horror."Kacela shakes her head. "That is an extreme example, but it illustrates the point. One who has the power to feel the Force, to move it to their will, has a great responsibility. It requires constant discipline, to ensure that we do not misuse that gift."</blockquote>
