Not-so-squee notes:

2) I'm hungry and there's is absolutely no food in the house. Which is far, far away.

3) Jazz-thingy tonight? So not going to happen.

Degrees of Freedom - Chapter 2: Under Scrutiny

A/N: See Chapter 1 for disclaimer, rating, etc. Dear god, tell me the writing doesn't suck as much as I think it does.

Fear

Recalling the Star Wars Ep 1 (TPM) tone poems* (also found here), I wondered about these two definitions/litanies of fear:

Darth Maul: "Fear. Fear attracts the fearful, the strong, the weak, the innocent, the corrupt. Fear. Fear is my ally." From the dmeb2.

Bene Gessert:: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

From Dune** by Frank Herbert

I'd love to see Maul's face when quoted the Litany Against Fear. *evil glee*


* What is a "tone poem" you say? Why, it is a slave to this definition.

**Trivia from wiki: The original novel, Dune, was rejected by twenty publishers; it has since become the bestselling science fiction novel of all time, selling more than twelve million copies, including millions more of the five sequels.
