It takes long, hard work to accumulate the knowledge and experience to be able to consistently say things that matter. It’s impossible to fake, and an astute crowd will always spot it.
The Luke-in-Yoda’s-hut scene pops to mind.
- perl4ever 6y agoI wonder how many people in this thread had heard of Georgette Heyer but not "The Luke-in-Yoda’s-hut scene". Even after looking up the script, I have no idea what you are saying.

Yoda challenged Luke by telling him he was too old to begin the training, and that a Jedi "craves not" things like adventure and excitement. People have varying degrees of awareness about how much work it is and how long it takes to gain meaningful knowledge and experience. They are impatient, they want shortcuts, they think "likes" are important, they give up. Luke says: "you want the impossible", but of course it's not impossible, just profoundly abstruse.
