Hello, it occurred to me that I haven't been overly active on here, so to make up for lost time is an "ask me anything" for you.

Ask and you will receive... :evil:

How do you personally interpret the need for accepting personal responsibility of our actions with the idea that things simply happen just because they were a part of string of events outside of your control?

That's one I've thought about a lot actually. I'm still not for sure. I've never understood the need to blame actions or events on some malevolent, predetermined path, and therefore accepting the situation of not being able to do anything about it. I think that the final outcome of anything depends on the feeling of unity around the affected group. I guess what I'm saying is that there is almost always someone who can make the choice to force a different outcome. For example; pulling an unconscious person out of smoking car. You made the decision that said what would happen to that person. Of course, one must be careful when assuming this conclusion, because there is temptation to place blame on everyone else for your choices. It is your decisions that effect what your problem is and if you can fix it or not. The other people need to make and live with their own decision. If they will help their fellow being or not, or let the haunt them until they are able to justify their reasoning to themselves. Responsibility for our actions can't belong to anyone else, in my opinion of course.

If you could be anything other than a human being, what would you pick?

Anything real; a peregrine falcon, anything at all; dragon hands down. Specifically a wyvern.

Most of us have jedi we look up to, fictional or otherwise. Of those in the fiction, which do you look up to as role models, try to embody, and why?

Definitely Plo-kun he is the only famous sentinel (that I know) to look up to, and I've never liked the idea of my studies getting too one sided. Balancing brains and brawn, so to speak, is a wonderful philosophy for success in such a.life.
