Good is the creation of harmony, the crystilazation of an ideal, pattern, concept. A crystal is solid and can withstand the tests of time. But what happens when that crystal is formed with a flaw? Or if the parts that make up the crystal can be put to better use elsewhere?
That is where evil comes in...the dark side. It is only the evil that can destroy that which has been crystilized in reality. It is the evil that breaks apart the gem so taht it may reform into something greater...or simply something different. With out the darkside, the jedi counsel would still be removed from the masses. Sitting high in their towers, growing weaker and rotting from within. IT is this darkness that paved the way for the new jedi council to form. For new levels of the force to be found and understood. With out this darkness...all would be lost...crystilized for eternity....stagnent.
Yet it is the Lightside which reforms these fragments, joins them anew to create a better manifestation of the whole. And the dance continues....perfect.

Re: Good/Evil...Light/Dark....Jedi/Sith...All are nescessary and have their place.
Sat, February 25, 2006 - 2:48 AMI often argue it the other way though. It is the darkside that crystalizes.. works to preserve a certain order, a certain orthodoxy, works to escape death and destruction .. there by creating that death around its orbit point in order to preserve itself.. then the Jedi, the workers of the force must work to instill decay, must work to instill death back into the natural order of the universe, the seats of power must be shifted, orders must fall away, new one must rise, the currents must be running swiftly as possible. The darkside works to stagnate the waters, in fear of motion, death, change.
So too in our age, a hegemony of preservation has begun to crystalize and must be broken up before the system as a whole suffer the destruction of sever imbalance. Coorporations and genetic lines in power work to hold on to their security. Economies are conquered, harvested, and sucked of their fluidity and their fertility. Land is paved over. Those perceived as threats to the current power order are demonized and illiminated. And it is the publics' fear of destruction that allows them to be manipulated thus. -

Sun, February 26, 2006 - 1:21 AMIts funny, though we discuss the same thing, our ideas about how it works come from a flip-flop point of view. Most excellent. It makes sense to view the Darkness as a crystilizer. Darkness is cold, cold creates ice crystals (thanks to moisture of course). The sun (Light) can melt these crystals, turning it back into its prior form. Its neat to see that it goes both ways, they are reflections of each other. Thanks.
When one looks at the Yin Yang, the line that occurs between and around the light and the dark is false...it is merely the two flowing together as one.
