I am just wondering if any, espeically Chinagrrl and Anubium could continue explaining their darkness.
What do you think is necessary for complete darkness?
Do you think you are truly dark?
Would a Sith murder in this world, or kill for that matter?
It would be great if you could answer these questions which have been plaguing me for quite some time.
Thanks,
Smuggler

I would kill without the blinking an eyelid but then I'm training for becoming a soldier so I've been toughening myself against that.... You'll find I answer to all factions of training.

I again reitterate that I don't personally see myself as dark. I see certain others that do some things that would put me to shame. I don't eat kittens, skin children, or worship the devil or most any other preinterred cognitions of evil that I am aware of. I do hurt people for sometimes rather silly things. It isn't a rash action against a random stranger for cutting me off in a line to eat by any stretch of the imagination. I think the worst is I have felt compelled to attack those that are so full of light that they gag me. I see muggers and vandals as opportunities not in that I am doing a good deed, but that I fully appreciate with every fiber of my being as I invoke the sum of my training to cripple another being in catatonic fear. Its exctasy. I do not like to kill as it is bad karma and my karma seems to have an effect on a few of my techniques to the point where I mind my manners. In the Marine Coprs...well...I've some bad karma already, I imagine.
Complete darkness...complete insanity. A level of chaotic carelessness to which even I shun. I relish the power I have and use it at absolutely every opportune moment but to bring harm simply because I can seems vacant and worthless and such I have tapered off from that, especially in recent months. I hold myself to an unwritten code and there is a twisted sense of honor in me, thus being one of the reasons I know I am not Sith. I know I have not embraced darkness. This is as Jedi as I can be and all that I am yet I am not good. The good sicken me literally and metaphysically and I taint them daily through my actions both direct and indirect. It has been awhile since I have learned a pair of techniques from which I may "seed" an individual that there thoughts slowly align with mine and energies as well till I find it advantageous to drain them all but the most necessary of life energies. Evil is delicious, malice is a spice, and fear is thick...
I note out loud that you segregated the "Sith of this world." You show a proper view of the seperations from Hollywood-ized fiction and what individuals have been accomplishing since the dawn of man. Sithism is a new banner to an ancient living belief that walks the Earth still in one form or another. When some claim Sithism, they claim the belief alone if they are truly grasping what is there to be achieved. It's living for yourself, by whim. It may well be murder but its not because you are so weak as to be tainted by sociological views and opinions. It may be rape, it may be theft, it may well be a smile. It doesn't matter. It's all about casting aside the weak veil that has enshrowded the whole race of human beings. It's becoming who you are and seizing what you were meant for. Take life by the throat, laugh at death, and live in the moment. Be free.
I think it is only darkness to those that fear an unbrideled soul and the unknown potentials of that individual once he sees the world as it is and makes a choice.

I am sorry for the delay, I see now, so, you do not see the Sith in movies as something to be modelled after?

My personal thoughts on the Sith of the movies is that the creator of the sotryline needed a foe to his good guy. He took enough of what was considered dark in our society to make a viable opponent. The best lies are mostly truth, but I believe these "Sith" are idealized bad people...if perhaps some had the caliber of their power, I believe you would see more of the movie-stylized versions. The funny fact of people online who claim Sithism is this: Do they claim to be at one with the ideals of self-forged existance and power over those that are to be lorded over...or do they claim a title of a mythological figment of someones imagination? Are the Sith that some claim to be "Sith" at all like the Sith? In the movies, I believe the Sith are most often portrayed as cliche villans. From what I see, even they sucumb to something and in that I see weakness and in that I see fault. I believe I am better for I am exactly what I am meant to be. I live for no one or no thing. I am a sentient self-sufficent walker of this ephemeral plane and my will is a force of its own. There is no master, no guiding Force. There is truth here and there is power. If there ever were a "Sith" as we know them by, I think the only major differences between myself and them in a number of categories would be their Lightning and lightsaber weilding and such things. I have yet to learn such things, if they are true at all. I have my own talents however and I know them, understand them, and excersise them. I would enjoy a fight with these "Sith" or any that claim the title to my face with confrontation.

I don't have the patience to prove so but read along with the class Smuggler. A number of times in this thread alone, I refer to the Sith as a seperate thing from myself and also remind others who have not been here as long as I that I myself am not Sith. I am not so singular minded. I am Sith by the words of others alone, not pursuit.

My answer is such:
I was born into a specific set of circumstances. I was raised with another set of them. I later made choices to embrace or reject some of those values.
That is why I say I was raised in darkness. I was trained in darkness.
I am an aspect of darkness only in my capacity for dark glimmering. What that is...I can't explain. But you would know it if you felt it. A dark current runs though me and I embrace ALL aspects of the Force.
I feel that the Force has gifted me with the ability to have sharp teeth, so I aim to be well trained, and accountable for their use.
Murder. To be responsible for extinguishing a life. If that was necessary, of course I would be able to do that. That, and to be mindful of the repurcussions of the aftermath of that responsibility.
To Kill. For food....yes. For sport...no. I try to be efficient and sport-killing (of animals or humans) holds little interest to me. How about the cells I kill just by existing? Or the small organisms that get trampled in my path, just in the course of the day...walking. Driving.
To Kill is a part of our existance, whether we admit it or not.
Then again...I'll catch an insect in a cup and release it, rather than smoosh it. Why...I respect life. I respect integrity. I respect mindfulness. I respect effort.
I don't much respect the bleating sheep, who cling to the sheep-dog at the first sign of the wolf. The bleeting judgmental sheep.
Do I think I am truly dark. Yes. Dark, but not corrupt. Be mindful of the difference.
