Turning to the Dark Side Quotes

“Truly turning to the dark side means a sustained loss of conscious self-awareness and control over cognitive processes, stemming from the inability to regulate emotions into their most useful, moral, and healthy form. It manifests most obviously as extreme fear, anger, and, of course, hatred, but it also encompasses every insecurity that has not yet been resolved, lying dormant in a person's mind. Turning to the dark side means surrendering to emotional defense mechanisms and becoming the version of yourself in least control of your own actions because your consciousness is not truly functional.”
