And what would you call that 'state of being'? In simple terms I would call it innocence. And being good/innocent does not mean that you do not know what bad is, you just avoid doing it because it does not work for the individual or collective well being of things. Yes. good and evil are a point of view, but it has so much to do with motive and understanding.

That sounds like a Vulcan point of view. There is nothing wrong with emotion and passion, It's how you use them or it's how you let them use you. As a matter of fact, if one is not passionate about life and what you're doing in it, you are going to be one hum-drum person. I assume the chaos you're refering to is not the theory one in which everything has a pattern although it might be too large for most to understand now, but you're refering to the all too human kind of the mob or anarchy type. And while it is true emotion can give a person internal conflicts, it's how we deal with them and how that effects others that is important.

Actually, Luke did not embrace the dark side. He did use it for a moment and almost immediatly realized he was repeating the same mistake his father made and then effectively said screw you to the Emperor. It is unavoidable that we will make errors in life, but I swear one of the secrets to life is what one does after the fact, to continue in the mistake or own up to it. Oh, and as for Anakin, he really did follow the dark side only begrudgingly.

Yes, nothing more complicated than perception. Both were right, both were wrong, what were their motives?
