Although utterly fictional, the vague notion of being called "The Force" is based on some real principles. In the movie, Star Wars, the "Force" is often talked about by members of a religious order called the Jedi. The warriors-priests of the Jedi Order served as the main proponents of what they believed to be the main concepts of The Force.
The concept and order are fictitious, but the principles that guide the lives of the Jedi are excellent guidelines for living, especially in the midst of all the chaos of the modern world. The "dark side" of the Force is the equivalent of the negative effects on one's life rather than the evil, the principles of the Jedi code can be easily used to formulate a personal theory for living a good life. That is, complete with a healthy mental attitude. Below you will find some basic ideas of Jedi philosophy and some ideas on how to adapt them to the trials and tribulations of modern life.
No feeling; There is peace.
It is important for a Jedi to be able to control one's emotions, because their actions must be as objective as possible. Fear and anxiety can have a negative impact on one’s decision making, which can ruin one’s life. By controlling one's stress and anxiety, by separating it from the things that need to be done, if you allow your anxiety to analyze your situation, you can find better solutions to your problems more effectively. This notion does not recommend rejecting one’s feelings, as doing so can solve more anxiety disorders and psychological problems. It only says that logic and analysis should allow people to guide their decisions, not their emotions.
There is no ignorance; Wisdom.
The Jedi Order confirmed the prescribed search for knowledge. To support the quest for enlightenment, he built a luxurious library containing information on a wide variety of subjects and subjects needed to educate and train a Jedi. He also shared that knowledge, to enlighten the people he was trying to protect. Many problems of anxiety and fear can be overcome if people take the time to figure things out. A little knowledge can help to overcome the fear and anxiety encountered when exposed to a completely foreign culture. In some cases, anxiety disorders can be overcome by equipping one’s mind with adequate knowledge about the source of the anxiety, thereby allowing a person to better understand and deal with the problem.
No passion; There is peace.
Like the first theory, the Jedi believed that it was dangerous to be passionate about something, because it would affect one's judgment and impartiality. For those in their positions, honesty is important in almost all situations. The same can be said for almost anyone in the modern world. Emotions and desires can damage our ability to make good decisions, as well as negatively affect our ability to recognize and correct our mistakes, thus preventing further damage. Being calm in the face of impossible bureaucracy can go a long way in keeping one’s mental health stable and “getting mail”. As long as your stress and anxiety do not increase by focusing on negative things, your mind will be calm and you will be able to make good decisions and see clearly what is going on in your life.
There is no death, only power.
The Jedi believed that when someone died, they would unite with The Force. This allowed him to see death not as a negative event, but only as a transition that inevitably had to go back to the past. Adopting it in modern life, adverse events can be described as "death", which, as stated in philosophy, acts as a metaphor for "force" life. In other words, it basically says that nausea induced by corporate and family duties is still life, regardless of all the negative events in one’s life, regardless of all the fear and anxiety. To use a metaphor to explain to someone else, if anything bad comes to you, take some time to stop and smell the roses. Your whole life will not be determined by a car accident or improper termination. Life goes on, so do you.
Considering all the above principles, it is difficult to see that even in the midst of the chaos of modern life they fail to lead to a better state of mind. That is, if they are to be followed as a personal philosophy and not just taken as guidelines. Also, if someone supports you contrary to the above principles, he / she is more likely to burn out quickly.
