The Jedi Code


 * There is emotion but we are given Peace
 * There is ignorance but we given Knowledge
 * There is passion but we are given Decision
 * There is chaos but we are given Order
 * There is death but we are given Life

I) Emotions. Happiness, love, anger, resentment, fear, and excitement, these are all examples of emotion. No emotion is inherently bad or wrong in any way, and we recognize this, but as a Jedi you must learn to control your emotions. Your emotions can cloud your judgment and potentially cause you to make hasty decisions without properly thinking them through. You must transcend your emotions and come to a place of inner peace.

II) Everyone is ignorant in some way or another. It is the duty of the Jedi Order to continue to educate ourselves and each other. This process is never-ending, as no one has attained all the knowledge of the universe except those who are One with the Force. Remain vigilant and know that you are not all-knowing, there is still much to learn.

III) Emotions, and especially those in circumstances of extreme stress, must be understood and checked, lest you risk losing yourself to them and becoming a tool of the dark side. Always act with a cool hand and an even temper. Observe each situation and act according to the will of the Force, and not to the will of your unbridled passion.

IV) It is undeniable that sometimes things just go awry, or at least appear to. And while this is true, we Jedi understand that all events are interconnected and are simply part of life. Tragedies and failings are inevitable, it is how we deal with them that matters, and as a Jedi, you should take such things in stride. Without this knowledge, the rest of the tenets are meaningless.

V) Death is a natural part of life. Jedi can be killed, and often are in times of war. However, death is not a tragedy, but a necessary part of the life cycle. Without death, life could not exist. They balance each other out. When we die, we are just passing into another realm of existence, that of the Force (Eternity)

"A Jedi shall not know anger. A Jedi shall not know hatred. A Jedi shall not know desire."
