Line 73:
* The [[Star Wars|Jedi and the Sith]] actually both embody Harmony and Discipline, but in opposite areas. The Jedi strive to master their emotions and do the will of the Force while the Sith seek to bend the Force to their will while giving in to their emotions. The Jedi belive in internal Discipline and external Harmony, while the Sith believe in external Discipline and internal Harmony.
** YMMV but Jedi actually embody both area of Harmony and Discipline. Jedi philosophy are teach to reach 'inner peace' by discipline their emotion. Therefore, you can said that Jedi are working on internal harmony with internal discipline while spending their time on 'Jedi assignment' to make make external harmony and law(discipline) happen in the universe. You can said that 'perfect' Jedi philosophy is the balance between those two(as the EU show how screw up it was when Jedi lean too much on either side of idea).
** On the other hand, Sith philosophy believe totally in external Discipline. They encourage to satisfy your emotion with any mean necessary(choke the officer when you're angry, go for empire when you're still a head of state, etc). This stimulate Sith to improve their external ability while ignore either internal or external peace and harmony. It is impossible for any human to think straight when their head are full with anger all the time.
** In [[A New Hope]], Obiwan tells Luke that while the Force controls his actions, it also obeys his commands. So the Jedi have a certain aspect of controlling the Force. Also, Darth Vader has successfully mastered his emotions in a way that would do a Jedi proud.
* In [[The Peregrine]] the [[Space Elves|Alori]] are an alien race that represents harmony. The humann [[Space Police|Coordination Office]], "Cordies" represent discipline, and the human [[Space Cossacks|Nomads]] represent both.
