Knighthood & Accountability
What example are you setting within the becoming when it comes to Knighthood? One of the responsibilities of a Knight is holding yourself accountable for where you’re not following through and addressing it. The principles we live by and the codes play a part in this. Recognition can be a part of being a knight, but in solely seeking the recognition, what does one actually gain? When one becomes a Knight they must ask themselves if they’re willing to stick to the principles and character of a Knight.
If you’re a Knight, did you think about knowing your motives and reasons for becoming a Knight in the first place? What was your reason for stepping up to that role you’ve taken on?
The character of a Knight involves leadership and that means one has to make hard decisions. Discomfort can play a part in this, and taking on that role, not everyone’s going to like what you have to say. Knights uphold character and integrity, and to leave that behind after obtaining the title means you’re no longer living the life of a Knight. It is the continuous growth and learning, the mistakes and adversities we face in gaining more knowledge.
Don’t become a Knight for false humility in becoming a Knight just to show off and not actually live by it. Don’t point out a title to point out justifications for your behavior, show you’re a Knight by action -not by becoming defensive in your words and falling back on your title to prove something, and if you do something wrong, take accountability for your actions. In being a Knight, you continuously learn and look at what’s difficult to face in continuous growth. Accountability is important for understanding ourselves and our part in what we do and helps develop character, practicing compassion and empathy in this is important.
Knights are representations of the training they’ve undergone, those who’ve trained them, and the broader Jedi community. In this, respect in action, and integrity and character in how we carry on that legacy are necessary. The titles are given because people have seen that “this is going to be a quality Knight,” but a Knight should make a consistent effort in upholding being a Knight and holding to their principles.
How willing have you been, or are you in accepting those roles?
