Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.
With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

I define a Jedi as a person who devotes their life to the study and mastery of the force, but others may not, it seems to be open to interpretation.
So do the Sith. See why this is HIGHLY flawed?

There are good people and bad people, they are still people.
Seeking to help others, or exploit others is an issue of morality and ethics.
Personally I am not seeking to help others, nor am I seeking to harm or exploit others.
If the universe puts me in a position to help someone I try to, if it doesn't I don't go out of my way to find people in need.
In any case master yoda wouldn't have become a master if his only abilities were that of hosting internet radio shows about Jediism, and volunteering at soup kitchens.
