Young Luke Skywalker: But Yoda, how do we know the dark side is not an important advantage without which we will be ill equipped to face the Sith?
Yoda: Consult your feeling Luke. Imagine a world in which we all tap into the dark side. Is that the world you wish to live in, that you wish for everyone to live in?
YLS: But Yoda, the Sith use righteous anger in the service of a world and a universe which serves only them. We're different than that. We would use it to create a republic which respects everyone's rights.
Y: The dark side blinds you it will. Once embraced perspective lost will be.
YLS: So you're saying getting in touch with my inner Hulk just is channeling a motivation which is separate from whatever end goal I may have in mind? That unbridled smashing just is ... wrong?
Y: Got it you have.
So Yoda is a moral objectivist, Luke leans pragmatist and Sith lords -everyone will agree- are moral monsters?
I lolled so much!
Convinced you to step away from the dark side have I?
