Depends on how you look at it, for me it seems a lot like the Chinese Open hand/Closed Fist martial Arts philosophy. One side (Open Hand) fights to protect the weak and better ones self through meditation/inner peace. While the other side (Closed Fist) take power by any means required, even if it means stepping on a few weaker peoples necks. The Jedi philosophy and code are a lot like a certain book we all know about, looks a bit like this [+]. It would never work, sounds like the coding of a droid more than a code for organics. The Sith code is taken out of context too IMO, just because it is written in a harsh tone. Peace is a lie, there is only passion:- There is never a "peace", right now there is a war going on somewhere. The will to fight to keep loved ones safe is what drives them to fight. (Even if that loved one is themselves) Through passion, I gain strength.:- How many times have you heard fighters say they used their pain and anger to fuel their punches? The Sith don't hide from feeling, they use them. (There are extremes of course) Through strength, I gain power.:- Ahhh Power, how can one hold power if one has no strength? That peace up there is only there because of the power. Through power, I gain victory:- Once the power and strength has been proven, most will fall into line. Many battles in the Middle Ages were settled just by showing the Strength, power and passion of your army...It is indeed a powerful thing. Through victory, my chains are broken:- Good old Victory, who doesn't love winning? Someone at work pushing you around...Defeat them...Make them suffer...Now you are free from the fear they cause you... You are the master now...Feels good huh.... The Force shall free me:- The Force gives you the strength to free yourself...That makes it a tool, and tools are made to be used. Use the Force as you see fit and remake the world in your image MWHAHAHAHAHA! This has been a public broadcast from your local Sith Lord, Darth Tyrillar.
