Use the Force, Luke

25/4/2014

 
I recently had a chance to demonstrate to my son what the Force is and how it can be used for 'not evil'. We were on a flight home from Bali after a very successful Ultimate tournament, and Sue's and my wedding (part 2). Luke and I were sitting in our seats waiting for the plane to fill and hoping no one would sit in the empty aisle seat. I turned to Luke and said that if the spare seat was going to be filled, it should be by a hot girl and not some massive grumpy farting traveller. Luke was totally on board with this - well, the hot girl part anyway.

With a grin, and whilst I had his attention, I said, "Luke, I think we should use the Force so that we can have a hot girl sitting next to us."

"Ummm, OK, Dad", responded Luke, looking at me with a rather puzzled expression, until I began to explain that we can 'will' things to happen, or at least by willing them the chances of them happening increases. He nodded his head in an indulgent manner and copied my Jedi hand action as we used the Force together.

The look on Luke's face was priceless when a rather sleek, hot girl in shorts and a tank top sat down next to us. "Dad, it really does work!" he exclaimed with a look of surprised bemusement. "Dad, could we use this for other things?" he asked.

For a moment I paused, and then, in my most instructive Jedi tone, I spoke words of wisdom, garnered from the Star Wars instruction movies.
"You must learn the ways of the Force, Luke, if you wish to grow strong in it. It must not be used for evil, for that is the dark path - rather you should use it for 'not evil'." My grin grew as I shared these wisdoms. "You can use it to influence the world around us and those that are weak willed, but use it sparingly, Luke, for the dark path is seductive and it will draw you in." I paused, took a breath and asked, "Understand?"

Luke's eyes were sparkling with possibilities. "Yes, Dad. 'Not evil'."
