Understand yourself and you understand the dark side.

The loop, same as the dark side, cannot be fought or escaped, it can only be understood for what it truly is and represents. It's true essence. Once something is thoroughly understood (the way I see things anyway), the push and pull of associated entanglements dissolves. Once I (finally LOL) come to a complete understanding of both the loop and the dark side, I will offer a very deep bow of respect and appreciation for the experience, then turn out the light in that room, and quietly shut the door.
