It was in the first Disney Thrawn book. It was unreleased. 😢

What exactly do you think is hollow about it?

@@StarWarsBengels That it's not quotes of the character anymore.

@@TheReapergod36 hey brother, this is actually not a quote from thrawn. But instead how thrawn might actually have articulated his views on the subject matter instead. The character is ultimately fictional, just think about it as if the real author is writing it. Thrawn's lines were not written by Zahn in the rebels, but by others, so just because somebody else makes some lines for thrawn, it shouldn't make you feel hollow. If however you genuinely don't think this is how thrawn would have expressed his views, then stating that its hollow is acceptable, its just that you will have to explain why you think thrawn wouldn't have said it in such a way

@@edgelorddragneel1142 It sounds more like someone took a philosopher's thoughts on lust, on greed, etc. Instead of the mind of a strategic and calculating genius of Chiss origin. Like if I simply took a verse from the Bible and pasted it into a ai voice generation.

@@edgelorddragneel1142 it would be more like this : Like all powers - its not an enemy, nor friend just one to channel in proper ways. Its energy can power relationships and personal development - but also destroy it.

I have to agree, not just from a biblical standpoint, but also a moral one. Lust diminishes agency in desire, making the other a thing to obtain, and not consider what their own means, desires or goals are. I really wish they taught this in grade schools, and not just how babies are made

You're right; and in a most unusual way: that'd be the workings of his boss Palpatine's *demonic gangster owner*, and its followers of its own "generation"; one of the most disgusting of them all is really a demon-sex-worker; the one who *specializes* in this particularly disgusting vice. *I* think it is especially present in people who truly *hate* themselves; as like drug abuse; it is really an attempt at *self-ruin*. Guys, if you find any of these qualities at all coming from something so stupid as humbling yourself- more precisely: the kind of humbling oneself that seeks self-murder: categorically treat it as "Tank-Grad overrun by your state's foes" and wipe out said "virtue" *completely*, go it alone as a rogue; and above all: Do NOT move against the least of us all: the kids who your duty as a man and thus as the soldier is to *protect even at the cost of your own life*; *this* kind of treasonous quality is really something that breeds child-abuse in the end- the sickest kind of treason against your own species *imaginable*. Referencing the rejection of humility on my part: that's in fact an *embrace* of service to my neighbors- this guy would know well that a truly superior-performing man *shows* it by his grasp of the details, a *vain* man insists on his own glorification *first* and is thus untrustworthy; the approach in the end is the one that tyrants are the most scared of: stoic individualism; the kind that allows settlers to operate. *This* alien man would know that it is *that* kind of guy you'd turn and/or recruit.

Actually all seven deadly sins harm both sinner and his victims. Gluttony and Sloth harms the body, while Pride, Wrath, Envy and Greed destroys healthy relationships.

@@wojtekreliga3881 Yes! on that I heartly agree; and he would also: gluttony would make a soldier in training weak, pride would cause him to neglect his training... anger: lets just say there tales involving him having to encounter that kind of murderously unpredictable troops on campaign; even if they are intellectually alligned to the same flag as he is; they'd be unreliable. Envy: lets just say that *if* you manage to annoy the Uncaused Cause *enough* about that one: you may gain the other guy's sins if you covet his life- things you won't want, believe you me! Greed? Unless these're controlled, the results are disasterous; greed has led to units losing focus at the worst time and being resoundingly defeated. I am reminded of some of the Frankish/Magyar wars during the middle ages: almost universally only when the Magyars got their focus off the mark by going for looting could the Franks close in and do anywhere near enough damage to have any hope of a sufficient morale check to cause their foes to break: otherwise they were trounced completely in every single encounter by their more mobile and longer-ranged Asiatic foes time and again, to catastrophic consequences; in the end: none of that mattered: they ran out of time and lives and fell into full-on collapse.

@@wojtekreliga3881 Correct, but the perversion of our minds in regards to lust influences the way we perceive other people, so it is a more complete, lasting perversion of our thoughts.

Oh, this guy'd be a very useful associate; and at least *this* hatred of these vices he's shown *alone* marks him as a ripe recruit for another and larger-scale campaign!

Yeah, and he is *sane* about this kind of thing too; one reason he's so formidable: he's professional; simple character trait that made way more difference than all of his mental capacities combined!

Nice xD

Like the other longer one’s you mean? Those videos are a compilation of solo videos on my channel. I can do that with the 7 sins too. :)

No I wrote this one and the other sins myself. :) see my community post for more information ^^

@@StarWarsBengels oh, I always thought this was excerpts from the audiobook or something. Like they had a section where they just went Sun Tzu on us
