It's really freeing when you learn that rationality isn't going to be feasible in the long run, not because rationality is this thing that only Truly Enlightened people get the privilege to experience, but because humans are just irrational.
You can know when you're being irrational, and sometimes, it is in big ways. But pretending like that irrationality doesn't exist or can only exist if you're "stupid" only sets you back from growing. Irrationality is part of the human condition - it is impossible to actually be this enlightened person people like to project themselves onto.

Pulling the seeds off more milkweed fiber. I've been distributing most of them outside so far, and will probably continue to toss them on empty dirt nearby as I do more.
Sorry for the terrible lighting, but I have also been spinning a blend of some. This is ryå mixed with it--I've done two rolags so far, the first one with only a little milkweed and the second that about half and half, and they're both spinning up super well. They also mixed in very easily and obligingly.
Unfortunately woke up and the spindle tip had snapped, so I have to take a break while the glue dries.

At what point does Anakin ‘Darth Vader’ Skywalker give off the vibes that people think he can make healthy decisions for himself?
And if he did leave the Jedi, who do you think would swoop in and offer him support, probably a job, and what ever else he could need? Palpatine. Who do you think he would run to when he starts having visions of Padme dying? Definitely not the people who dismissed his visions of his mother being tortured before. No. He would go to Palpatine. The Sith Lord. Who orchestrated Anakin’s fall from day one.
Him leaving the Jedi wouldn’t have changed the final outcome.
Honestly you kinda hit the nail on the head. Anakin leaving does not fix the core issue of the Jedi order itself. The whole kinda point of Star Wars is that the Jedi order of the republic created the perfect breeding ground to create a figure like Darth Vader. And denying the roll the Jedi played in leading him to the edge is just kinda frustrating to me.
Like Palpatine was only able to sink his claws into him because he offered a judgment free space for Anakin to express his emotions. 
And saying Anakin should have left because he wasn’t cut out for it really ignores the fact how he had no real choice in being a Jedi; Qui-Gon made that decision for him. The Jedi was his family for over a decade. And he’s been told since getting there “you are going to save the universe.” If you think Anakin wasn’t cut out for it because he was to emotional, that’s literally not his fault lmao. It was the adults in his life. I think it’s so unfair to think Anakin should have upended a life that he loves because he’s not good at something he didn’t choose to be.
