I love Star Wars, in fact if you ask family and friends they might jokingly say that "love" doesn't quite describe it. It's kind of a family obsession, we were those kids that had Mom make us Star Wars Halloween costumes, our parents took us to the theaters each time a new movie came out (and they were just as excited about it as we were) and when we went to Disneyland we each picked out our own lightsaber.
So when we were all together a while back it just made sense that we'd all have a Star Wars marathon. Sadly with limited time on our hands we were only able to make it through the first three (chronologically not the original three) but while I was watching it I did find some very good advice I want to share with you.
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." -Yoda
Yeah it sounds silly to take advice from a Jedi Master who happens to be a little green creature and is 900 years old but Yoda is wise and in this case he's also right. When we let fear take the place of faith we can become angry and as that anger builds up it turns to hate. Hate makes us suffer but it also reaches out and touches the lives of those around us, making them suffer to.
So take some advice from a galaxy far, far away and instead of fear choose faith, instead of anger, choose forgiveness, instead of hate choose love, instead of the dark side, choose the Light.
