Prompt #13 : Superstitious
The Jedi Order is a religious one, and like all other religious orders we have our superstitions, our Code to live by. I would simply prefer to believe that our Code is rooted in logic. I have read something of Earth customs--avoiding walking under ladders, throwing salt over one's shoulder after you have accidentally spilled it--and they seem rather like nonsense to me. However, were I to be stationed on Earth for any length of time I would try to mimic the earthlings' behaviors as best I could, if only to placate the natives. I have always found diplomacy so much easier when one tries to fit in. Indeed, my most difficult missions have always been those where the superstitions of a culture conflict with the Code I have dedicated my life to following.
136 words, and if you can get role-play out of this I applaud you.
