I just remember talking with some guy online who follows that real religion based on the Jedi, him mentioning the dispassion/emotion dichotomy, and me wondering "why is that necessarily evil?"
I would be fairly light sided, but if antone wronged me i would shove force lightning so far up their arse they'll be coughing up plasma globes...
In games usually I play light side...I have a hard time making many of the evil decisions.
In reality I would probably be considered dark side because I would make decisions based on my emotions, get angry, kill people I think deserve to be killed and basically act like a normal human being.
If the force warped me because of those decisions then I guess I would eventually become evil, but unless my base personality was changed I'm pretty much a good guy who would use the force to defend others but not hold back when someone angers me.
In a real fight I use my emotions, anger is a very powerful tool even without the force. So I guess that is the best reason for me saying Dark side....I already use anger as a tool in battle.

It's kind of hard to to separate into either good and evil, as human beings are inherently complicated creatures. Regardless, I think I would say I'm closer to the light side than dark. The only thing I really need to worry about is greed. I get greedy a lot.
Hmmmm, I'd probably be a Dark Jedi. Probably try being a Jedi, but end up succumbing to the darker side of the force. I'm pretty fickle though.
I already have all the Cookies. I used the Dark Force to get them. Muwahahahaha.Chaos Theory said:
It's the dark side creed that I learned from KotOR. I would have to have no emotion. Passion is what drives me.NeutralDrow said:
No more so then any other form of power. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"Chaos Theory said:
I'd probably try being a good Jedi (and might even pull it off for a while), but at the end of the day I'm a very emotional and angry person inside, and combined with the powers of the Force and given a certain set of circumstances, I'd probably fall to the Dark Side in the end.
Weird. Re-reading this I've pretty much unintentionally summed up Anakin's life without realizing it.

M'kay, but this is Star Wars. The Force is absolute power--as Darth Vader famously said, even the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to it.canadamus_prime said:
Ergo, Force users would be far, far more likely to be corrupted than someone with less power; even going by your logic they are still more susceptible.
As for the Light Side being some sort of an emotional void, I say that's bull-hockey. Isn't the point of it to empathize with everything and transcend your own self, whereas the Dark Side advocates for a continual process of emotional satisfaction? Which, in the Star Wars universe, is sort of like a drug--the more you have, the more its effects are dulled until eventually to get the amount you need, crazy shit is required.
So I'll go Grey.
