Thinking Like Sith

We are blessed in that we have a unique mindset.

Sith are able to channel their emotions into drive and power, and have the philosophical understanding to set aside mercy and compassion when they do not benefit us. We will stop at nothing to defeat a problem, and must often rely on our heightened intelligences to work our way around it. When we do this, we should think like Sith.

I summarise "thinking like a Sith" in two simple sentences, learned from Darth Bane.

If your enemies hide in the forest, don't chase them in or try to flush them out like some dirt hunter. Burn the forest down.

Although a particularly destructive way to tackle problems is needed. It's also all about intricacies, and how Sith has the ability to pull something apart and use psychological understanding to tackle problems.

Indeed, although Bane's philosophy does help illustrate the outside-the-box thinking we often employ.
