grim23“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.”
Buddha (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
YODA : "Good, good, young one. How feel you?
ANAKIN : Cold, sir.
YODA : Afraid are you?
ANAKIN : No, sir.
MACE WINDU : Afraid to give up your life?
ANAKIN : I don't think so. [ANAKIN hesitates for a moment.]
YODA : See through you, we can.
MACE WINDU : Be mindful of your feelings...
...
ANAKIN : (a little angry) What's that got to do with anything?
YODA : Everything. Fear is the path to the Dark Side... fear leads to anger...
anger leads to hate.. hate leads to suffering.
ANAKIN : (angrily) I am not afraid!
YODA : A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.
I sense much fear in you."
