Okay, first let me say that I am not going to have a prolonged argument, especially not one where the central issue is the validity of a mantra that someone has ripped off from frikking STAR WARS. My time is more valuable than that.
Point: The Sith are movie characters, the left-hand path is quite real.
I would suggest you put down the Star-Wars and Dungeons and Dragons long enough to see that giving someone a mantra that has not been tested by many others, through time, especially when they are first starting on the path, is amateurish and rude.
Secondly, the mantra does highlight vulnerability by its very desperation for power. What you learn along the path is that the power is already there, perception of a lack of it is both illusion and weakness -- hence, vulnerability. |
