The dark side of the force

Anybody remember this quote?
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
You probably won't be that surprised how true that quote is. And you probably would be weirded out by the fact that I could incorporate it into conversations.

I'll just bold the relevant bits.

Jello: so how goes ur exams?

Jello: incurability leads to anger
• §?lly ? [f: lol...

Jello: anger leads to hatred
Jello: hatred leads to the dark side
Jello: i mean
Jello: bad grades in lit
• §?lly ? [f: the dark side has COOKIES (edit: where can I learn these abilities?)
Jello: not from a lit teacher (edit: not from a jedi)
Jello: a word of advice, if you ever believe what you write sucks, but
a teacher or academic says that what you have written has some good
points, or that you are capable, believe what they say

So what I said was not exactly the same as what Yoda said, but at least it's close.

Basically, when you suck at something you hate it. It does not help when others do not give you a morale boost, but kill it, as it makes you hate it more, or get angrier. Then you cycle through Yoda's saying and you end up with a horribly nasty dark result. Hate is bad.

AARGH I forgot what else I was going to write. I had so many cool ideas running in my head during lectures. I probably was running through job interview scenarios. I shall not fail again.
