I'm hardly an expert in the subject, but I'm assuming when you say sith you are trying to describe the different take on the force than say a Jedi.

When I think of a "Sith" type person, I think of people using the "force" to serve their own benefit, or to advance a certain agenda while a Jedi would be doing things selflessly for the benefit of the people around him.

They can actually be masters of diplomacy, and be very charismatic, while only seeking to only advance their cause. I think the "Illuminati" would be a good example of sith if you believe in that sort of thing. You would never be able to tell who is doing good things for selfish reasons if they are smart about it, and that's what makes them so dangerous in the politics world.

But like I said, This post might be 99% bullshit because I'm not an expert. I'm sure a few of the posters here who call themselves sith will chime in soon.

Your being a Sith. Those are coercion tactics. We each have sith and jedi traits within. They key is the balance of both aspects into a functional human form that is capable of both compassion and self preservation simultaneously.


What if I didn't know that being friendly had a chemical reaction? What if I was just a friendly, smiley, nice person?

Am I still being a Sith, or do I become a straight up, salt of the earth, genuinely nice kinda guy?

Does saying "Bugger off, I've got a headache, and don't let the door hit your arse on the way out" make me more genuine and honest? more Jedi?

Nope still bring a sith but your also just being a flirt as well. Ignorance of the law does not excuse you from the law!

Trump is not a Sith or a Jedi. He is an Oompa Loompa. When he ate some experimental candy at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory it made him grow big - all except his hands. Some say he's not a native born citizen but this is not the case. He was one of the first Oompa Loompa children born in The US. So he is eligible to be president. Considering what his makeup specialist is up against they're doing an outstanding job.

Let me add to the madness and announce that according to my opinion the Force always is in balance , we dont need anyone to bring Balance to the Force especially not orange coloured puppets with delusions of grandure , and there will always be those who recieve in giving and others who enjoy taking ...

And pleaze feel free to grammar nazi me ..i am easy victim !

Someone acting to "balance the Force" is a silly notion since the 'someone' is another event in and of the Force. As Marta points out, the Force is always in balance, but that only momentarily a 50/50 balance. The 50/50 balance is just a turning point in what is constant dynamic equilibrium, a "balance" yes, but in eccentric (to the rational, ordered mind) flowing to and fro between incalculable, complementary variables.

Fear and desire are aspects of the psyche of both Sith and Jedi. The question is : does one use one's knowledge, focus and wisdom of the Force to free oneself from the fetters of the ipseitic "I" (ego) or does one use the same knowledge, focus and wisdom to empower it ? In our age of "personal empowerment" self-improvement psychology, we let ourselves get much more easily seduced by an attractive model of altruism which is much more Sith-inclined than that which is acceptance and courage based of the Jedi.

Even the Sith can be seemingly very benevolent and generous, if one acquiesces to what they have deemed good and right and just. And once one agrees to that - saying "no" to the Serpent but "yes" to the System -, then one is trying to get back to a regular 50/50 "fairness" of a well-oiled yet quite life-less machine.

It's easy to become lost in these paradigms, they give one a sense of purpose. If one isn't particularly well grounded, it may take them a while after experimenting with both to come to the conclusion that they are in themselves mere tools for understanding the self completely.

Just as there are hot and cold, dark and light, good and bad, etc there exist people who you could consider to be real life Siths, as well as, real life Jedi. However, people get lost in trying to describe people as one way or this way. We all have a little bit of Jedi in us as well as Sith. The Force (the Macrocosm) is always in balance in the grand schemes of things, yet by observing the Universe (the Microcosm) around us we see that it is always in a state of flux. Nature is constantly changing like the wind and so do people. We slide to light at times and at other times we have our dark moments, yet each experience in life is a chance to find our own balance.

Lol, I won't go as far to say Trump is a Jedi master, however, I do believe his rise to the presidency was needed because of how there was a political imbalance with the over the top SJW and PC culture that was dominating the US. Things are too far left, so Trump is sort of what was needed to bring the country back to the center.

I would dispute this claim
the countries politics, atleast as far as the two parties are concerned have been steadily moving to the right since Reagan.

The mentality of "SJW" on college campuses and other parts of the media is disturbing however.
