Qui-Gon blinked. That was an odd description for denying attachment. It was almost entirely against everything the Jedi stood for, even though the end result was the same.
The Jedi Master was quiet for a moment. He didn't sense the same level of darkness around Sanzo that he had around that mysterious Sith, both on Tatooine and on Naboo. It'd been the strongest right before that lightsaber came at him and he'd felt it burn right through him. But it appeared that these Earthian priests and the Jedi had completely different views on what was attachment.
"It seems that our goals are the same," Qui-Gon said. He frowned a little. "But our methods are different. Our focus on detachment is so that we may be compassionate to all; we are in service to others, never to our own personal, selfish whims."
In theory, any way. A good Jedi would be a servant to the public and to the Force. In reality, however, Qui-Gon was starting to realize that he wasn't exactly the best example of a good Jedi these days. Not when he was beginning to believe he most certainly did have some selfish attachments.
