Attachments are also a source of strength. It isn't out of passion that we seek attachments, it is out of a desire to not feel so alone. Obi-Wan, I know full well the risks of passion, and of learning to maintain control. Better than you may realize, even. But I don't let that unsettle me. Fear of emotion and fear of losing control is still fear.

[Obi-Wan was so stubborn sometimes. What had turned into offering to share some insight now felt like a lecture...]

You've seen my past. Without attachments, the Jedi would be nothing more than a distant memory, and I and everything I hold dear would be dead. Leia, Han, Chewie, Lando, Wedge and the rest? They are my attachments, and they are the legs that I stand on much of the time.

You are afraid of losing control and lashing out, are you not?

"I... spoke to Rei Hino yesterday. The Shinto priestess. There was a vision."

[He frowns again, troubled.]

"The vision itself was... disturbing, to say the least. But what truly disturbed me was not that. It was..."

[He pauses, as if he doesn't wish to continue, but he does anyway.]

"I felt... hatred. Burning, twisting beyond my control. The vision was not of me, but whatever it shows me, it will unbalance me. Possibly beyond my ability to control."

[This priestess again? Adele had seen something equally disturbing. Could there be a link? The girl he'd never met, but he knew from Ami that Rei was a gifted girl, and he assumed she was another of those mysterious soldiers]

Visions can often twist our perception of reality, you know. If we are granted visions in the Force, as many Jedi occasionally are, and dwell to much on them, that is the root cause of many acts of great horror. Don't let yourself fear what may be. Instead, work for a better tomorrow with everything you have. That is one of the first tenants of the Unifying Force as was explained to me.

I have faith that you'll be able to control yourself in a manner appropriate to the situation, Obi-Wan.

"... I appreciate the faith you have in me, Luke. I only hope that I do not disappoint you- I am not at my best at the moment, emotionally."

[thefinaljedi]

I understand that, which is why I'm offering you an alternative point of view. Don't view it as an instability. Think of it more as a chance to experience something from a new perspective.

[He considers it for a moment, then finally seems to relax.]

"I shall think on what you said, Luke. Thank you."
