Holocron of Darth Draconis

I believe that the act of submission to the will of another is a direct contradiction to the Sith ways. The Sith are about the Self, Freedom, Emotion, Control, and more, but never should any Sith allow themselves to be the tool of another. Even Jedi should not submit to others. The Jedi are about selflessness, service(helping others), and more, therefore I come to the conclusion that submission also contradicts Jedi Teachings. The Jedi of fiction served the democratic governments, and as a result they became little more than an extension of the Chancellor’s will, ultimately putting them in a position of servitude under a Sith Lord bent on revenge against Jedi. However, the Jedi Realists I’ve met, most notably at Ashla, have adapted to serve people in general, putting themselves in position to avoid submission. When this happens, you become nothing but an extension of someone else’s will. Personally, I think of myself as more than a tool to be used by others.
