The Jedi and Sith met in an abandoned moister farm out in the Tattooine Desert. Benmar was eating as he waited for Dandere. "Sith would you like something to eat?" "That you but that would require me to take of my respirator and I don't need the sand getting in it. I already have enough repertory problems without having sand in my lungs." "Would you mind telling me how that happened?" "That topic is rather personal. Maybe if we gotten to know each other better and I feel comfortable sharing that kind of personal history with you but until then I am keeping that to myself." "Ok well maybe we should start trading knowledge. Do you want to start or should I?" "You should." "What do you know about basic meditation?" "It's something you can use to channel all your rage, anger and hatred." "Jedi mediate to calm themselves. Some of us mediate and commune with the force instead of sleeping and get the same level of rest." "I may not be able to suppress my emotions like you but I think I can relax. Go a head and finish eating."
Dandere got on the ground and started meditating. Instead of focusing on her rage like she normally does she focused on what makes her feel good. Because she knew if she just sat there with her eyes closed thinking of nothing but the Force nothing would happen. Even if she tried reciting the Jedi Code. By focusing on positive emotions she feels herself not just gaining energy but thinking a little bit more clearly. She has been unable to channel her rage, anger and hatred properly for a long time. Maybe she needed emotions that don't require as much force to get her mind back on track. She could never be a Jedi though because she needs emotions to give her a power boost still. But it's nice to know that she doesn't have to only have to use negative emotions.
She gets up. Ok I am going to teach you how to better control anger and hatred. Fear is what keeps you from using it. But I do agree with you after my experience with the Dark side that it should not be over relied on. From what I have been told, you have been trained to control it by suppressing it. That's just a time bomb waiting to happen. You must know how to use it before you can learn how to control it. But in the process you must not give into it like I did for awhile and most Sith do."
Benmar sits down and meditates on dark side emotions for the first time. Then he lets go of all of is anger and hatred. "That was strange." He said. "Emotions are part of nature. They are what make us living beings. You may feel calm most of the time but what are you going to do if you find an enemy that makes you hate them? Think of this as practice for that situation. To keep your self from going over the edge. That way even if you become emotionally compromised you can still think things through and hold your self back from doing something dumb." "That makes sense."
