Editing The Force (section)

== The Light and Dark Sides ==
A key aspect of The Force is the dichotomy between the Light Side and the Dark Side. The Light Side is linked with self control, altruism, a love for all life and a desire for harmony both internal and external. The Dark Side is linked with selfishness, passions left to run wild and a desire for power. The most well known users of the Light Side of the Force are the Jedi and the most well known users of the Dark Side are the Sith, though neither of which are the exclusive users of either one.

The Light is also entirely passive; it is a choice not to act but to observe, judge, endure, and heal.  The Dark is active; it attacks, conquers, and desires. The Light is waning in strength for those who are lost or lose control.  Anger, desire, and hatred from The Dark simply flow more freely and give more ready power to those who haven't devoted themselves to acetic nonaction. With a complete and holistic study and devotion, however, The Light has a greater ability to guide and strengthen.  The Dark on the other hand almost always leads to self destruction as its practitioners inevitably give rise to their own nemesis; the Dark does not play favorites.  

The Force is constantly in turmoil with itself between Light and Darkness, forever pushing towards an balance which it can never fully achieve. It is also notable that individuals who use the force can get caught up in the pull of either side. If one is Drawn to the Dark Side by anger or fear, it will amplify said quality in them. The same could be said about the light.
