I am at the age where I need to decide… what would I rather be, a Jedi, or a Vampire?
In the realm of the super natural, the choices have boiled down to these two, and I am really having a tough time deciding where my allegiances lie. Should I make myself available for the creatures of the night to take me and make me one of their own? Or do I try and fine inner peace, and become one with the force?
Please, don’t try and tell me none of these super natural elements are possible, because you will be classed as no less than a spoil sport.
Let’s look at the pros and cons…
Jedi have fantastic amounts of power derived merely from their environment and their ability to focus energies of the earth to a concentrated level. Dark Jedi can summon great amounts of power just from emotions such as fear or passion – yes, these emotions can cloud your judgement severely, however, the raw power is still obvious for all to see.
The ability of foresight is a blessing that cannot possibly be taken lightly. I imagine if we had more Jedi in this world, faithful to the light side of the force, the international squabbles we see would be more than halved. Their ability to see occurrences from all sides and to acknowledge signs from the force is uncanny – and their diplomatic skills would be more than welcome in many situations.
Jedi aren’t merely light-sabre jockeys, the most notable feat of the light-sabre is the ability to find peace and harmony without even utilising the energy weapon.
Jedi aren’t ultimately powerful though, at the end of the day, they are susceptible to being overrun, and freak status will surely be bestowed upon those who show an ability to control the force – I think that’s what holding me back form joining the order, and becoming a Jedi consular.
I am also not so sure if I would make the best Jedi Knight in the truest sense of the word, because right and wrong is circumstantial, and clearly, what I perceive to be right, may be a whole lot of wrong to someone else – and as good as I am, I fear I would be susceptible to the Dark Side of the force as well, because I feel passion and anger just as much as the next guy, and an all powerful Jedi with bad judgement is not a desirable outcome.
Becoming a creature of the night is a prospect I feel most appealing to me. Vampires are usually associated with evil etc. however, I am positive, should I join the ranks of the unholy, I could maintain my righteous and wholesome character.
The only way I could consider becoming a Vampire is if I had the ability to become a day walker – a.k.a. Blade. He is one powerful vampire, and surely there has to be a more direct way of becoming a Vampire with that ability rather than just being born to a lady that was bitten – obviously that opportunity has passed me buy.
Vampires are pretty much immortal in this day and age, and I would be more inclined to think as much, because I wouldn’t go around making anyone powerful enough to terminate my existence mad. I would be confident enough to say, that my becoming a vampire would eliminate a lot of social problems, because the only victims to fuel my desire for blood would be criminals. Would I trust my judgement though? What happens if I need to assault an innocent being to succumb my insatiable desire for blood?
The ability to fly and have the strength of many men, whilst living in immortality is definitely a most appealing one, but I really don’t think my personality suits that of a vampire… I am leaning towards the choice of Jedi, but before I can really decide, I need the opinion of an average Joe… tell me what you think would suit me best? What would you choose? I will need some Jedi buddies, or possibly some Vampire friends…
BAM!!!
