A Good Question...



A Padewan asked me this afternoon:
"Jedi Knight... why do you Jedi Knights, want to know more about us Padawans?"

It was a question, no Padawans had asked before... Something I took for granted... Something that many other Padawans like her took for granted...

Who are we to know more about another person?

It was a tremendously good question, as far as I'm concerned...

It was a question, whose answers, answered all my other questions, which I'm struggling to find answers to up till that very moment...

I paused for a few short seconds before answering her because I didn't see it coming at all...

But I think it was a very timely question to be asked... For it has reminded me my purpose in being a Jedi Knight...

The best analogy I could think of the explain would be this:
"A doctor took the blood pressure of his patient... It was below normal range... If he doesn't know that the patient has an amputated hand behind his back which was bleeding profusely, he'd think that his patient is having a weak heart..."
