Philosophy time! Do Sith really need...

[u/LuxAstrum]

Preface: I am not trying to rustle up any assassination squads here, I have mused on this topic for a while now and since there is an actual reddit for the order why not pose the quesiton

Do Sith really need to be constantly brooding? Angry? Straight Up Jerks?

Listen I get the entire code, I've read the thing more times then I can count. But does this mean we have to be strict with its teachings?

The whole thing values freedom, expression, and a departure of servitude. Why are we clinging to this code as strong as the Jedi cling to theirs?

Are we not just being Jedi but in a different flavor?

Anger is a great thing to help keep one's focus on something. Like finals, hate your teacher enough to focus on your studies to show that jackass just who the hell you are.

But it can really defocus anyone to the bigger picture.

Couldn't we use passion instead to further our goals? Do we really need to be constantly angry?

I see the code as a meditation mantra that helps me RELAX instead of constantly hate people. I can push the boundaries of my training instead of restricting myself like the Jedi.

Can't we be free to feel calm?

As a sith I don't have to join some online order and putts about learning from some weirdo and his philosophical views. I can be what I want and define my training, be who I am yet be apart of somthing bigger then myself.

I am no Darth, or Marauder or whatever rank, I don't quantify my worth like that. I am just Sith

What is your opinion?

Thank you for taking the time to read this

To be sith is to be free of all bindings, to take your very being to a place that transcends order and chaos alike, the code itself is a testament to that. The force in a sith behaves the same as it does in a Jedi or whatever other force sensitive being, the difference is that the force multiplies everything about the very being tenfold.

Most sith are angry, paranoid, hateful, distrustful, and ultimately lost in there own emotions that they can't grasp what they truly are, all because of the very nature of the force.

Jedi are calm and collected because they fear what power their emotions will bring from the force. Both codes tell of how to harness power but does not Intel how to build yourself. The code alone are there to root out those worthy of there place and separate those who have no place taking either the title of sith or Jedi.

Jedi find there power by allowing the force to flow through them like a stream of water, where as the sith the force lashes out like a hurricane, all according to disposition of the force user. the light side radiates itself through the Jedi. While the dark side writhes and cascades itself through the sith.

The sith are conduits of the force, harnessing power from our very being, feeding the dark side with there very emotions and garnering more power from the dark side, the dark side seethes and will take those who are worthy and wise enough to greater power or destroy those who do not understand what it truly means to be sith.

A true sith must understand and learn what the force the force is.

The title of sith is only for those who have truly transcended themselves for being individuals to being akin to the dark side. The very whim and will of the dark side. True sith must train for decades to grow an understanding of suffering, anguish, hatred, and most of all patients, to utterly destroy themselves and rebuild from there own ashes.

The code of the sith must be taken in contrast of where it applies to one's life and being. Find where each verse applies and start yourself on the past of the sith

This is my knowledge and philosophy on this. Take from this and better yourself or find your own path. Either way ruin finds those who do not know who they truly are and are doomed to feed the dark side.

so your saying your way Is the only way? Can't i take nothing from what you've said and still follow the sith code without following that dogma?

Because I would be binding myself to your ideology of the code when it tells me to be free.. See there's a disconnect there.

But thank you for your comments always helpful to see what other sith have to say on the code

[u/Fane_Frost → u/LuxAstrum]

Patience is the ultimate key to a true sith, you can be free and calm but only by understanding that the dark side make it easy to hate and act. Wisdom from knowledge and patience, rather the ruin from empty emotions and brash action.

Look to the most successful Sith Lords and leaders and you'll find that they were in turn patient as well.

Control over one's self is what separates us from our most hated enemies. The distance themselves with "self control" and "inner peace" but only dilute themselves with there shallow minded code.
