Apathy and Belief: part C

In the xbox game KOTOR II the main character, known as “the exile” walks into a force vision. In this vision he sees his mentor who talks to him. Then some of his companions make some accusations against his mentor. When the exile refuses to do something and just watch them attack her, they each in turn say to him, “apathy is death” and then turn on him.
All throughout the game the exile faces his past and relives the choices he had to make as a General in the most devastating war in galactic history. Over and over again he faces the same question, knowing what he knows now; would he have still gone to war against the Mandalorians, or would he have waited and sought wisdom with the Jedi council, while whole worlds were slaughtered.
At the end of the game the exile must make a decision. Will he go and face the greatest of the Sith on his own, or will he do nothing. If he goes, he may turn to the dark side, or he and his companions could die and the last of the Jedi would be gone. He would have to face his past at the very place where he had been stripped of the force. If he does not go and face his past. If he does nothing, then the sith lord with which he has a fatal bond will kill herself ending his life as well. Such an action would bring death to the Force itself, and “kill all who feel the force” a.k.a. all jedi or those who are force sensitive.
In the end, the exile goes and faces the Sith, and finds that the whole battle is about belief. As he faces the one known as Lord Sion, he convinces Sion to believe that even if he were to defeat the exile, Darth Trayus would not let him live. He convinces the Sith lord to let go of the force. Since the Force is the only thing that is holding Lord Sion’s body together and therefore keeping him alive, Lord Sion dies. It was Sion’s belief in the Force that kept him alive, and when his beliefs changed, he died.
Finally the exile faces Darth Trayus, the one to whom he has a fatal bond. After seeing Lord Sion die, the exile finally knows that it is only his belief in the bond that is holding Trayus’ and the exile’s fates together. After that he is able to defeat her in lightsaber combat without losing his own life and bringing death to all who feel the force.
Though these are not real life examples, the game shows these good examples of how our beliefs can hold us back or make us excel. It shows us that just our mere beliefs can bring life or death. If Sion’s belief in the force would not have been shaken, the exile would have been defeated. It also shows good examples of how apathy can bring about destruction. Take for instance, if the exile had done nothing, the results would have been tragic. In the end, apathy can be just as dangerous as wielding a gun and what we believe about ourselves can determine the outcome of a situation before it begins. That is why we must be careful about what we believe and what we say. That is why we must not fail to act.
