power is consuming

[Lord Cassus]

I have lived for 17 years now. About 2 years ago I really started to understand that I wasnt one of them "lightsiders" and fully embraced the dark side.
I play basketball and when I unlocked my inner darkness and let my hate flow through me i became faster and stronger, often i let people score a couple of baskets on me just to get angry and then kick their ass good.
My problem now is that i release my anger too **** often, Ive started fights in school and i almost got expelled when i send a guy to the hospital.
I find these people pathetic and I just want to show them how superior iam.
Any1 experienced this or have any advice to share with a fellow brother?

[Darth Sidious]

you need to learn the fine points oif control, or in other words, you need to take up something to help remove the excess anger.

Do you go to a gym / weight lifting place? thats what i tend to do when i have an excess of negative emotions, and would highly recommend it.

[Darth Devious]

I have to agree with Darth Sidious here. The hate and anger can fuel you, but you also need to understand control. Think of it this way, power and freedom require stealth. You are not being very stealthy if you are picking fights in school. Choose your battles carefully.

[Lord Cassus]

Yes i can use some of my anger when i go to the gym which i often do butsometimes thats just not enough.
However you are right i will exercise more control so that i dont attract as much attention.

[Azazel]

imagine your power as a fire.
If you can drive it the way you whant, its a usefull thing, but you have to be carefull not overuse it, or it will burn you, and eventualy run out.
The sith are not prisioners of theyre emotions, but they use them.
if you let your anger get control of yourself you will loose control, and loosing control is bad.
try some breathing exercices when things start to get overheating.
Or, as the admin says, do some workout, but always keeping in mind that self control is the key to everything we stand for

[Lord Cassus]

Yeah i se what u are saying its just that i think people overall really have lost their way. Today all people care aabout is stuff and looks. I meat so many unintelligent people who dont know **** about anything but a new cellphone thats come out on the market or something like that.
I just feel that sometimes perhaps a really big fire is necessary to set people back on track again. I really was not cut out for this age i should have lived with the samurais instead :P

[Empress Palpatine]

Oh God....I know the feeling. I read about other time in history and think how much better it would be to be there instead of our time-the Age of the Petty Shopkeeper and Beaurocrat. This is the Age of the Aspiration of the Airhead. What would it be like to be a Celt during the time of the Romans and assault the Roman legions from behind the trees? What would it be like to be in the French Revolution? or Mao's Long March? Or what would it be like to be among the artists of the Renaissance or the thinkers of the Age of Reason? Eat, sleep, work, shop-that is all mankind does today! Whatever happened to progress, discovery, and meaning? Yeah, I want to punch 'em in the nose too (or be more efficient and nuke 'em). But it is no fun in jail.

I would use your anger and energies as Palpatine did. Maneuver. Plot. Outsmart them. Use them as pawns. Think of what your big plan should be. What do you want to rule, to conquer?

[Lord Cassus]

Yes i have a plan actually, i dont really know how much i can do but hopefully one day i can cast aside the name that i use now that people know me as and really become Lord Cassus, i however expect this to take a looooong time.
I just belive that something in the human development process went awfully wrong, from being brave warriors we went to smart-ass sissys. For exampel why is it so bad to steal something? if my friend has bought food and im strong enough to take it from him then i have earned it more than him right?:mad:

[Azazel]

Of course society has gone wrong, but, for some strange reason only in the northen hemisphere, but thats because we, by use of force and inteligence, managed to conquer the right to live like that.
Nowadays its not only a matter of streght that matter, its all in the brain, and i think everyone suports me wghen i say that the way of the sith is more a way of deceiving than of brute force.
what good would it be if you steal your friends food by force if he has a gun and shots you down ?
you should be smarter than that, and make him give you that same food on a "voluntary" basis.
One cannot win control based only on brutal force, for its a weak spot.
Base your conquers in inteligence, and keep then by force, when necessity comes to it.

[Lord Cassus]

Base your conquers in inteligence, and keep then by force, when necessity comes to it.
Hmmm no doubt a good point

[Darth Cassus]

Yes Use your mind it is more powerful then your fist. Getting in trouble will never help you it will get you in jail. Only fight battles you can win and getting in trouble is lossing. Strength helps alot but no wisdom and you will be lost very quicky.

[Empress Palpatine]

Lord Cassus, What is your chosen battleground? What is your desired conquest?

Is it political power? That usually means law school and winning seats in legislatures. This is a good arena for a Sith.

Is it wealth? Then one has to somehow maneuver into the business world.

Is it power over people? Religion is a good bet. Try to be some sort of preacher and get the fools to put money into the plate to fund your cadillac. Or if the mainstream church is too much of a bore, perhaps a cult leader? Cult leaders cultivate a following and are treated like lords and kings.

What you wish to do will have a lot to do with what your chosen strategy will be.

If you want to have your real name indeed be Lord Cassus, it sounds like you want to be a known Sith, not just a hidden one. I myself have toyed with the idea of becoming a Sith legend.

[Azazel]

Whatever your batlle should be, and no matter what goals you wich to acheive, brains will always win pure muscle.
Learn the ways of the sith, use them wisely, and victory will be yours.

[Lord Cassus]

I dont know my final goal yet but i know i must find myself first.
My plan so far is to become a pro with basketball and make alot of money, when im like between 29-35 im gonna put all my money in a bank and go into some kind of self exile in japan hopefully find some kind of kung fu master or something and just learn how to use my body as a weapon.
A famous basketball player wouldnt in my country have so much trouble becoming a political role model and since i have good grades and will study alot of politics when i move to the US i hope in some way to make a name for myself.
Its a very fragile plan but as i always said; improvisation is a mans best friend :p

[Azazel]

you have high plans.
Just dont really understand how some of the things mix up in the end, or in the midlle.
best luck .

[Lord Cassus]

azazel i understand my talk confused u and i apologized its just ive got a small clue to what my plan is but i guess most will reveal itself in due time.....i just know im going to make sure people will remember my name if it is for good or ill time will tell.......

[Azazel]

Its not that.
How do you plan to mix basquetball, lots of money and martial arts all in the same...? I cant figure out a logical line in all that.
Maybe its just me.

[Lord Cassus]

well u se if i become a pro in basketball i can make ALOT of money, ive had some expierience with martial arts but thats more for fun if i could really master it its not really something i HAVE to do

[Darth Cassus]

A man must do what he can till his destiny is revealed to him.

[Seti-I-Shadim]

Its not that.
How do you plan to mix basquetball, lots of money and martial arts all in the same...? I cant figure out a logical line in all that.
Maybe its just me.

Lord Azazel I know what you mean. However, three words: Kareem Abdul Jabar. One of basketball's greats, is still filthy stinking rich & trained with Bruce Lee. It can be done but its rare.

Lord Cassus-I wish you the best w/ your plans.

- Seti

[Master Thompson]

Ambassador Shadim, I like that video you've got going on there in your profile! Lord Cassus...hoops player huh and it sounds like you've got skills!

[Lord Cassus]

well ye i play in my countrys junior nationalteam (although that dosent say much since sweden isnt that good) and im going to college in the USA after this year on a scolarship :)

[Empress Palpatine]

First of all, good luck to you. Basketball to martial arts-why not? You should be in great shape if you play basketball. Let me guess, you are a tall person. You will be on the college team. In the U.S. being on a sports team brings you status. Sports can be a path to wealth and power. Go for it!

[Darth Opacus]

Interesting topic. Lord Cassus, allow me to add some things. I have studied several different forms of martial arts and I fight in tournements. I had issues back in school, I also started fights and had several close calls with the law. I hope someday very soon, I will be fighting in the UFC. Learn to control your anger, let it give you power, but not consume you. You will grow reckless and make a mistake. Before a fight, I listen to some heavy metal and meditate. I draw upon the anger inside and use it to make me powerful. I have fought in nearly 60 fights and my record stands at 49-10-1. No one can win everytime, but out of the 49 wins, 40 come from knockout. Harness your anger, learn control and you will be unstoppable.

[Lord Cassus]

well im 187 cm i think that is like 6.3 in the U.S :p ....cool exar kun ive watched this series "the ultimate fighter" thats in the UFC right? And thx for all the good lucks u guys i know im gonna need em !

[Azazel]

Well, looks like i will have to start following the NBA news in search for a new swedish basketball promisse.
Lord Exar Kun is the person to talk to when it comes to martial arts.
We all wish you the best, it will be cool to see one of us on the Tv and know who he his.
rest assure im not going to tell anyone.

[Darth Opacus]

Well, when I get to the UFC, I will have to have some covert signal. Any suggestions??

[Azazel]

a all black cloath with something resembling a red bladed light saber on it.
Or am i getting this all wrong ?

[Darth Opacus]

No that's a good idea. I can wear a black cloak with a cool Sith design on it as I come to the octagon.

[Azazel]

Just dont forget to tell everyone your on.
Will it be on the UFC site ?
