In Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, a wise Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi, in his first meeting with his corrupt padawan’s son Luke Sykwalker, attempted to justify his father’s death saying, “Many of the truths that we cling to, depend on our point of view” (Lucas). Obi-Wan a Jedi master, tried to justify his point of view, that Darth Vader killed Anakin, but in doing so he revealed a universal truth which dictates that understanding truths depends on one’s point of view.

One that can be witnessed everyday is the universal truth that equilibrium is necessary in order …show more content…

Similarly, the equilibrium of actions can correspond to the equilibrium of emotions. In Wordsworth’s Lines Composed Above Tintern Abbey, he begins saying, “And passing even into my purer mind / With tranquil restoration:—feelings too / Of
