THE FORCE IS MALEVOLENT
IN THAT IT HAS ENSNARED US
IN A CRUELTY SPECTRUM FROM
WHICH THERE IS NO ESCAPE,
EXCEPT INANITY, I.E. THE
LOVE OF NOTHINGNESS,
BECAUSE MALEVOLENCE
FALLS VICTIM TO
MALEVOLENCE.
I SUGGEST THAT
WE OFFER MALEVOLENCE
TO THE MASSES AS THE ONLY
ESCAPE FROM NIHILISM, ONLY
FOR THAT MALEVOLENCE TO
FALL PREY TO MALEVOLENCE,
WHILST RESERVING THE SAFE SHORE
OF INANITY FOR OURSELVES.
IN THE END, SITH LORDS
KNOW THAT BEAUTIFUL SURFACES
ARE OUR ONLY COMPENSATION FOR
THE HELL THAT IS THE HUMAN CONDITION
EFFECTIVELY MAKING IT SEMIHELL,
FOR HEAVEN'S MASK HAS AESTHETIC
VALUE.
WE CAN ENSLAVE THE GALAXY
BY OFFERING IT EVERYTHING IN
ORDER PRECISELY TO DEMAND
EVERYTHING FROM IT, ALL THE
WHILE KNOWING THAT THE CRUELTY
SPECTRUM ACHIEVES AND AIMS
AT NOTHING.
