[ Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffereing.

As if moral failings and weaknesses such as avarice, vengeance, envy, lust, arrogance, and deceitfulness, play no part in bringing about suffering. No, FEAR is ultimately the cause of suffering, through anger and hate! Turn off your “fear” mechanism and there’ll be no more anger or hate and therefore no more suffering!

Yoda is one screwed up and morally-pranged toad. ]

Why do you think the old bloated republic became an oppressive empire right under the supposed protectors (Jedi council) noses?

The Old JINO (Jedi in Name Only) elites were just as much to blame as palpitine...

I am a sci-fi geek, BTW

LOLOL! Good point!

Yet if words mean things ... Yoda does advise from a totally amoral position. The paths to the Dark Side are vengeance, avarice, greed, lust, etc! Fear doesn't have a thing to do with it!
