Light and Dark: A Mind Game

Light and Dark: A Mind Game was created by
So, I've been reading the thread on Light and Dark. I've noticed that most of the conversation is going round in circles because of definitions. In fact, some people are talking in different genres! Darkness in science (how the universe began) and darkness in Jungian psychology...
What if we were to divorce ourselves from that dualistic terminology? What if we decided to be more specific? Be very, very detailed in what we mean? Could the conversation be different? More meaningful? Less meaningful? I don't know.
But, here's the game. Will you remove these words from your vocabulary? Is a Jedi light? Don't think about light. Think about what you want to go in this blank: A Jedi is ____. Be extremely specific. Don't leave anything up to chance. And, that means you'll have to thoroughly explain the context. Is it possible? Can you remove ambiguity and be extremely intentional?
A Jedi is not ___.
Can it be done?

Awesome post by the way. It will be quite the challenge to write more deliberately.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
The realist adjusts the sails.

To play along with the game my answer would be
A Jedi is
Or : I am a Jedi.
That defines what s Jedi is to me , what WE choose .

A Jedi is genuine.
A Jedi is not superficial.
That's my first crack at it. This is a great exercise.
