    Hopefully he made a decision that leads 2 death. At this point I'm do disappointed in the ST & the KR arc that i don't care if KR gets redeemed or not. I just hope he dies.

    Yeah, yeah I know I sound all gloomy.

    Unfortunately, the reason for children choosing the wrong path is a very common one these days.

    Busy parents who are absent in the lives of their children.
    Missing important stuff like birthdays and hollidays.
    The child in question looks for attention and praise from other people.
    Sometimes these are the wrong people and the child becomes an easy prey.

    I feel someting similar happened with Ben.

    Maybe she didn't do everything right with Ben, but it's not like she's Odin where it's done on purpose.

    She still held out hope he could return to the light for a long time, at least.

    Yeah, I remember that. The idea that Ben had inherited this temptation to embrace evil from Anakin is dumb. It's dumb as rocks. Just about anyone has the potential for both good and evil. And yet, when commenting on moral compass, especially in fiction, human beings tend to harbor this illusion that only a handful - for special reasons - are capable of evil.

    And when it's all said and done, Ben is mainly responsible for his decisions in life.
