Thats the absolute, black and white. Right and wrong nothing more.
Jedi tend to realise that there are grays out there, they don't kill everybody that doesn't agree with them. They don't rage wars to spread their idea's across the galaxy just to defend their goals. Thats the absolute here.. With me or against me, just black and white no grey.
Obi was right when he said that, because Jedi don't think like that. Of course they are against their enemy they are the enemy, but unlike the Sith they are not against the guy on the street that doesn't take sides. They would never kill them, Sith would.
Hmm i see what you are saying Padme, but think the person above this post put much simpler terms my argument.. understanding the grey areas, and no offing joe schmoe on the street for disagreeing and all.
Perfectly logical standpoint. The Sith think linear while the Jedi wage both sides and decide on the most logical outcome. Therefore Yoda was correct when he said that.
mtryder: it's not stupid of him at all because stating a fact, i.e. acknowldging that there are absolutes, is not the same as dealing in them, i.e. making your decisions based only on the absolutes.
And here's my totally pointless, out-of-the-blue thought for this thread. If Sith deal in absolutes, they would not make good Car Salesmen....at all...Jedi would though. One wave of that hand and they can have their price met.
