Cultural narrative
It may be cheesy, but as I read about the narratives that had formed my thinking about the world, I couldn't deny that this scene from The Empire Strikes Back was probably one of the most influential bits of my cultural narrative. As a 5-year-old (yep that's how old I was when it originally came out...hid my ham that I didn't want to eat under a napkin in order to be allowed to go to the movie), this was ground shaking. And as I grew older, I realized that Yoda's teaching of the Force had influenced my understanding of right and wrong, God, and my relationship to the world. So, yes, it's cheesy, and I could have pulled from several other narratives, but this was what first came to my mind. So it's what I shared. Enjoy!
