There isn't a question of a doubt that along the way, the Light siders has lost their way, being more confused by the application of their powers rather than force study. However, it may not be an intrinsic view of the Force, but rather, its practioners.consequences wrote:If we go with the possibility suggested in Traitor, the reason that the Dark side Jedi seem more powerful is that they are more in tune with themselves. By not restraining their emotions, and having actively work to keep natural, useful compnents of themselves like fear and anger in check, they are able to exert their full potential with much less time, training, and effort. Whenever a supposedly lightside Jedi says fuck it, and lets their feelings guide them, they tend to kick more ass.
"This above all else, to thine own self be true." "Know your enemy, and know yourself" yadda yadda yadda. Most light siders are way to busy denying that certain things are normal to have any true awareness of who they really are.
Ted C observations is also echoed in I believe Hindu mythology, although I'm not sure whether the book I read it from is a non biased one. Evil always appear more powerful because it comes directly from the raw forces of nature, but to mishandle such power can easily destroy oneself(Hanuman the demon who was so strong, that he accidently killed himself with a single blow), but creation is a painstaking process that is just as powerful as destruction.
