Patience

Patience. Not generally an attribute used by followers of the Dark Side, and especially not by Sith. However, this is something that can be very useful when used correctly. Allowing patience to grow can allow your manipulations of the weak to flourish. Weakness is perspective based of course, but regardless of what you deem weak, it is not something to strive for. Manipulations one has set up can take a very long time to establish themselves. Allowing your seeds to grow can help you reach your goals, both long and short term. Biding your time until the situation has played out how you want it can take a long but generally indeterminate amount of time. Rushing things rarely works out how you want it to.

This is something that many individuals have a hard time with because your passions rarely are able to sit idle while seemingly nothing is happening. Controlling your emotions and passions is the key to patience, and is key to allowing your seeds of manipulation to grow. Patience is a hard concept for followers of the Dark path to adhere to, but the rewards are immense and lavish once true patience is achieved.

Remember, through passion, strength is gained. Therefore controlling your passions and emotions in all instances is the true key to success.

It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it. - Darth Traya
