Fear
Fear...
Fear attracts the fearful,
the Strong, the Weak,
the Innocent, the Corrupt,
Fear...
Fear is my ally.
Im gonna do a miny lesson on this poem. I'll take it step by step. If you want to see this poem in its original context you can see it in the Bonus Features on the Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace DVD.
Fear...
Fear is all around us whether we wish realize it or not. Whether its the fear of losing a loved one or getting a bad grade on the report card. Fear is one of the most basic thoughts a human being can have.
Fear attracts the fearful,
Fear by itself is not what attracts the fearful. The fearful attract the fear. Fear is easily rooted in a fearful persons mind.
the Strong,
The strong wish to prove that they aren't scared by what they fear, which is becoming weak. Fear affects the physically strong, the mentally strong, and the emotionally strong.
The physically strong tend to be the weakest of the three for you cannot combat fear with any physical action.
Fear is hardest to affect the Mentally and Emotionally strong, they have barriers (which have been built over hardship and grief) that are not easily broken. However they have their fears too, they just need their defenses lowered to let the fear take action; think about it like a war: If you continually loose battles then over time even the "strongest" of minds will give in to demoralization.
the weak,
The weak fear becoming weaker and they show it openly.
the Innocent,
The innocent fear losing their innocents.
the corrupt,
The corrupt fear losing there power.
Fear...
Fear is my ally.
Fear should be an ally to every Sith and possibly the Jedi. Fear is a powerful addition to manipulation. When the two are coupled together you can almost dominate an individual. Now what you do once you have that dominative control is up to you.
The way to cope with fear is to accept it and just let it go. Once you have let go of all you fear then fear cannot touch you. Fear only inhabits the ones who let it.
I hope this has been of some usefulness to everyone.
