#which er i can't deny i've seen her take out her anger on her dog

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

I was thinking about anger, about acting out of anger, and the way the force works in fanon. Maybe some of the dissonance comes from people seeing force sensitivity as a passive thing some people experience, not a skill that must be practiced. Obviously, we all get angry at times, that is normal. But we do learn, we do know that acting on anger can be dangerous- we know that hurting someone in anger might be something we regret, we know that's not an excuse. But maybe the dissonance is that using the force is in itself an action, not just a personal experience we have in our own head, not an internal feeling, regardless of what use you put it to. That… if choking your wife is obviously a terrible action to take in anger, choking the force in anger is in itself also a terrible action to the jedi, even if there's no physical person being choked.
