The Jedi Community and a great number of its members spend more than half their interaction and engagement with others of our likeness... Online. This is because our member base spans all over the world!! So naturally, it is a matter of ease and flexibility to use online platforms such as social networks, media platforms, and forum based websites.
The perks of these online methods is that we are able to communicate and discuss spiritual, philosophical and worldly subjects that interest us and our beliefs together.
However the downfall of this process is a consistent base of misunderstanding and appropriate conduct of communication.
Just as “The World” suggests. Our member base comes from all walks of life. Diverse cultures, languages, and process of ‘thought’. This forces each and every one of us to approach every conversation with a good sense of “Critical and Logical Thinking” in order to properly convey our inner intent to those we communicate with.
Of course. That is not always successful.
However… If all else fails. As Jedi, we should always strive to remember our core teachings.
Here at Just Jedi. Those teachings are:
Self Mastery
To serve others with self discipline & valor
To be an Inspiration
When engaging any and all conversations online we must always remember that it is our written words that reflect our intent. Those on the other side of the screen don't know if you are smiling. They don't know if you are frowning with discontent or scowling with anger. They don’t know that you are at ease or struggling to restrain what you are really wanting to convey. They don’t know your culture. They don’t know your life experiences. They don’t know who you really are, face to face. All they know...are the words you typed up on screen.
So work towards self mastery in the arts of words. Self discipline your emotions. Approach everything as if you were an author writing to your reader base. Critically and logically assemble the world you want them to understand and think through each word in a manner that will Inspire those who read what you have to say.
And remember. If you fail to convey yourself through words. It is valorous to step aside and let bygones be bygones. At the end of the day….we are each and everyone of us. Diverse.
