Still you are a human beeing, not a saint and there are temptations, weaknesses, attractions wich can cause you to stagger and fall in your way even if you have good intentions. And feeling the power of the Force can even increase the defects in your nature as it is known that passions are strongest in the youth and are easier to master in older age or in a weakened state of the body like illness. The only way to the Light then is to rise up every time you fall and continiue the life-long quest. This is the first problem - problem of our nature which cannot be changed into flawless in short time even if we want to. So the example of Mace Windu channeling and controlling his inner darkness within his saberfight style is quite realistic - it is better to know and control the inner darkness then to deny it, unless we are strong enaugh to transform or clean and sublime its energy completely. So we can declare high dogmas and follow the outer rules of High Concil, yet we can feel the tension between the ideals and reality and that tension can bring to a fall, to release of anger etc. The higher the goals - the more danger to fall, because of the difference between our nature and the ideals. Second problem is that there are seldom clear options of best actions - for every desision and every choice in life we pay. Example for this is Jolee Bindo who spared life of his wife who was a Sith - this desision is the only one true to make in my opinion. But there is always a prise to pay and there are seldom perfect desisions to take. So even if the want to be on Light Side most of the jeddi are following the grey land like Gandalf the Grey <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
