My Personal Credo

For an English assignment, our class was to write a personal credo - basically a short list of your beliefs about life (no, not a testimony). I had some fun writing mine, and so I thought I'd share it on the inter-webs. ENJOY FELLAS.

Everything I Need To Know

    Everything I need to know I learned from a galaxy far, far away, in a time long ago. Surprisingly, the wars and contentions that happened among the alien planets have applicable life lessons to life on Earth! Ha! How about that. Take one of the characters from these Star Wars - Anakin Skywalker! He was born into slavery, and he was destined to be a slave for the rest of his life. However, by sheer dumb luck, Anakin was freed. Though he enjoyed a life of freedom and awesome fight scenes, his mother stayed a slave and eventually died. But you know, that’s life. Here’s a list of more things I learned from Star Wars.

• Not everyone has the force.
• As long as the most important guys have sweet fight scenes, it doesn’t matter how many stormtroopers die in the background.
• Explosions on vital spaceships are inevitable.
• Fights with your father are also inevitable.
• Never underestimate the power of the dark side - they have the cooler version of the force.
• Red is the color of the dark side.
• The old wise guys always dies.
• Good will always win in the end, somehow.
• You must either do something, or not do something. There is no middle action.

    Well, that about sums up all of life’s little lessons in a few short sentences. A brief look at this list may make you laugh, but upon further looking, this list is very relateable to life. That’s just the magic of Star Wars. George Lucas was visionary; being able to see into another solar system through the past must have been very hard! But I’m just glad he shared their story with us. Tolkien is another example of a visionary man, but this credo is focused on Lucas’ revelation writings. And remember, when given the option to rescue a princess, always jump on it. It could end up being your sister, and you will have a very happy family reunion.
