Temple of Karabor

Zion casually crossed his arms across his chest as Matthew spoke. Despite the boys seeming disinterest and distaste toward the idea of having to read books and this current lesson, Matthew certainly seemed capable of asking the right questions. He smiled then, as he activated a simulation which caused items to be placed on either side of the scale. Causing it to become off balance and then slowly return closer to balanced. Several different simulated scenario's were run in random order in a loop. There was no lesson plan, no one way of training someone up. Nor did Zion believe in strictly adhering to a stringent plan.

Topics and matters existed that Zion wanted to touch upon, but the how and when of getting to them was entirely based upon Matthew's understanding. After all, he knew nothing of what Matthew had been through before. The boy certainly had some talent in the Force. He would just need to spend some time teasing out the correct information and adjust accordingly
Oh, it is by no means an assumption. It is a guaranteed fact that no two items are of equal weight. Indeed, any action or effect can be weighted differently even of the same side of the Force... However, it is a false assumption to believe that such a thing as 'true balance' exists and can ever truly be maintained. It is in the very nature of the Force to have dissonance. There will always be things that weigh the scales slightly to one side or another. For as you astutely recognized, not all things are of equal value...
He cleared the hologram then, leaving just the two of them standing within the room alone
While it is certainly true that there is no fixed weight to an item of light or dark, it is not necessarily true that the actions of a lightsider weigh less than the actions of a darksider. Just as the reverse is true. An item of light is equally able to weigh as much or as little as an item of dark. How we try and balance it all is not down to a science or art, nor will you find any great works on it within any of these books... It takes time and practice to understand the finer intricacies of the weight of various items. But even then, we are each bound by personal bias based upon the backgrounds we come from. We try to eliminate the larger issues by abiding by a certain code and understanding of life...
Tapping a control on his datapad, Zion brought up a holoprojection showing the three core principles of Karabor: Honesty, Valour and Loyalty
From there, we focus on the largest items that are putting off the balance between light and dark... Which, at present, is the threat posed by the Sith and the Knights of Ren, and by extension, The First Order. We start with what can easily be quantified in terms of size and impact. By having reference points, we can more easily come together and figure out the smaller minutiae as a collective and not individuals... Fluctuations of belief are an unavoidable eventuality, whether Sith, Jedi, Dark Jedi, or even a Knight of Karabor. By recognizing and accepting that fluctuations exist, and embracing the idea that dissonance must exist, we mitigate any issues of varying views of what balance is... 'True balance' is a lie and there is no state of existence in which it can be maintained. Split seconds of existence occur as the needle passes from one side to another. But that is it. We embark upon an endless war that we can never truly win, only achieve victories by ensuring the continued existence of this world. And that, above all else, is the most important thing...
