A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
(May you feel the force as you read along the way!)
YODA: "Learn to let go of the things you fear to lose."
*** The simple advice of Yoda to Anakin and the lesson Yoda gave to me. Letting go of the things you fear to lose?!!...just tell me how could that be when just the thought of losing it makes you shiver with fear and pain?! I understand Anakin, maybe because there's the Anakin side of me too, the side of me that never wanted to let go and don't even want to think about it. But it is the art of tragedy that makes us the person we wanted to be but never thought we could be,... and the same twist of fate is the art of tragedy that can also make us the person we don't want to be and never thought we could be. Who would have thought that Anakin would choose to be Darth Vader rather than the chosen one of the Jedi to save the Galactic Republic? No one dare to think about that the hero from the start of the history would turn to be the great villain at the end of the story.And the matter of fact is that the fact of the matter is the heart.
PADME' AMIDALA: "Love has blinded you?!"
*** So there it was, the sweet conversation of Anakin Skywalker and his secret wife Padme' Amidala...
ANAKIN: "... you're so beautiful!"
PADME' AMIDALA: "Its just because I'm so in love!..."
ANAKIN: "... no! because I'm so in love with you!..."
PADME' AMIDALA: "So love has blinded you?!!"
*** So love is NOT blind... but it can blind you!...blind until its too late to see that you're already at the dark side and can't see light. The love that was once was your light has now blinded you and its just not logically, emotionally, humanly behavior to go back when you have gone too far to return.
OBI-WAN KENOBI: "You are the chosen one... the one who should bring back peace... and not to become the lord of the Sith!"
*** So, the heart of the matter is that, the CHOSEN ONE can CHOOSE! Now we can differentiate the two different heroes of two different stories - the Bible's Jesus and the Star Wars' Anakin. Jesus was the Messiah and so was Anakin. Both were called the "CHOSEN ONE", but while Jesus choose to fulfill the prophecy that He really is the chosen one, Anakin did not mind the prophecy and decided to be at the dark side of the force and be the lord of the Sith - (No wonder Jesus said "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets:I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." Matt. 5:17)... Anakin did not mention that because he destroyed the prophecy that he is the chosen one by taking the wrong step of turning his back from the Jedi rule.
Could you imagine how different the Bible story would be if from the time Jesus, during His agony in the garden of Gethsemane, when Satan was tempting Him and He gave in? Whew! never thought of that not until now - right?! Imagine what could have happened if Jesus was blindly in love with as beautiful as Padme' Amidala during His earthly time and Satan tempt Him be the lord of hell just to save His wife from giving birth! What a different story it would be! (Maybe that's the purpose behind Jesus' solitary life! - right?!)
Well, I'm glad Jesus did not chose to be overcomed by His "Anakin side" during His earthly time and still decided to resist temptation to fulfill the prophecy that He is the "CHOSEN ONE".
Going back to Anakin Skywalker, he disappointed Obi-Wan Kenobi and me! Just as the dark side of the force disappointed him too because just when he thought he could save Padme' from dying, it turned out that Padme' did not die because of giving birth but because she loses the will to live. After all, Padme's life was Anakin, and losing Anakin is the same as death for her, and Anakin died the time Darth Vader was born out of him. So who killed Padme'?... well according to the wicked chancellor, Anakin's anger killed Padme'. So sad that from the start all he wanted was to save Padme' and he end up killing Padme'.
*** So maybe the cliche' is true, that "Evil is something that can only be done out of courage!" - the courage to turn your back from the truth you once knew and be ready to be blinded with deceitful pleasures from your humanly natured heart.
*** Lastly, a friendly advice... "The devil is evil and will always be evil and he will disappoint you just as he disappointed everybody!"... so be safe and guard your heart because it is where he usually attacks with his deceitful agendas!...xoxox
"MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!"
