i am darth bane, dark lord of the sith. can you feel the power of the dark side? the only real power! the only thing worth living for! do you feel invincible? invulnerable?
immortal? i know many rituals, many secrets... and i have the strength to use them. the force manifests itself in many different ways. every individual has strengths and weaknesses – talents they excel at and others that are more difficult. to unleash your full potential you will have to do much of the study and research on your own. it will be… perilous. the future is never static. it is constantly shaped by the Force… and those with the power to control the Force. equality is a lie. it is myth to appease the masses. simply look around and you will see the lie for what it is! there are those with power, those with the strength and will to lead. and there are those meant to follow. those incapable of anything but servitude and a meager, worthless existence.
equality is a perversion of the natural order. it binds the strong to the weak. they become anchors that drag the exceptional down to mediocrity. individuals destined and deserving of greatness have it denied them. they suffer for the sake of keeping them even with their inferiors. equality is a chain, like obedience. Like fear or uncertainty or self-doubt. the weak will always be victims. that is the way of the universe. the strong take what they want, and the weak suffer at their hands. that is their fate; it is inevitable. only the strong survive, because only the strong deserve to. i know what it means to suffer. i used to be a victim. but I refused to accept my lot in life. those who are victims have no one to blame but themselves. they do not deserve pity; they are victims because of their own failures and weaknesses. the dark side will devour those who lack the power to control it. it’s a fierce storm of emotion that annihilates anything in its path. it lays waste to the weak and unworthy. but those who are strong can ride the storm winds to unfathomable heights. they can unlock their true potential; they can sever the chains that bind them; they can dominate the world around them. Only those with the power to control the dark side can ever truly be free. the power of the dark side is strongest if it is concentrated in one vessel. Not spread out among many. Sith knows when to unleash the fury of the dark side and when to hold back. patience can be a weapon if you know how to use it, and your anger can fuel the dark side if you learn to control it. prowess in combat is the simplest display of the dark side’s power. brutal and quick, it serves a purpose. yet it is often less effective than subtlety and cunning. those who follow the dark side see the truth of their enslavement, we recognize the chains that bind us and hold us back. we believe in the power of the individual to break these chains. that is the path to greatness. only if we are free can we reach our full potential. the belief that an individual must not bow down before anyone or anything is the dark side’s greatest strength. it is also our ultimate weakness. to understand the dark side you must suffer through hardship and struggle.
