Re: Is fear…
Fear, the path to the dark side it is, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
Ok let’s move on …
Hear in one swoop, Yoda has agreed with you that fear is bad, and that hate is reactive and fear comes first. However, he feels like every good Jedi that it can be curtailed. So ingrained that it may be, he feels one cannot have fear in order to avoid the dark side.
Although I agree with most of what master Yoda says, I can’t agree that fear is inherently evil and must be curtailed.
