Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cthulhudrew" data-source="post: 2271852" data-attributes="member: 4090">But Yoda also told him that visions are often clouded by one's emotions, so it was possible that his loved one might not actually die, in which case letting go and accepting it would simply be, IMO, callous and cold. Not to mention that, since she wasn't dead (accuracy of vision notwithstanding), again, treating her as if she was already gone is just callous.Maybe it's the phrasing (or the dyslexic sentence structure) of Yoda's that just struck the wrong chord. If he'd said, as you have, "death is a natural part of life, accept that it happens to us all, and embrace the time you have to spend with someone", rather than (as it came across to me), "let them go. Don't be attached to them, because caring leads to negative emotions and the Dark Side", it wouldn't have bothered me so much.</blockquote>
