Taoism, Wicca, and Role-playing

I wanted to get the title of what I wanted to write about on here so I didn't forget, but I'll actually write it later. Look for it!

Okay, first: Role-playing. GOD, am I glad to be doing that again. It's been too long. I was a GM today (the person who runs the game), and I'm not particularly experienced at it, but I think I did well. And I was definitely able to whet everyone's appetite about playing, which is good. And my friend (who is experienced at GMing) is going to start next time, which means I get to take on the role of STURGE, THE DWARVEN FIGHTER! (He's a tank; seriously man, just a beast-and-a-half.) He has a broken horn on his helmet that he tells everyone got damaged in a fight, but in reality he fell down the stairs when he was drunk. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!? I've seriously missed the chance to slip away and become something I'm not.

Onto the religous postings. (I'ma be brief, 'cause I think I'm getting sick.) I compared Taoism and Wicca to Jedi and Sith. Now before I have multiple curses cast upon me, hear me out: I'm not saying that one is good, and the other evil. I simply mean how they view "The Force" parallels the views of Jedi and Sith. Taoists believe that there's a certain way that things should be, and they do their best to become attuned to that and to live their lives in accordance with it. There's no struggling, no desire for personal gain. That's very Jedi-like. Witches, however, see the forces of nature as a tool; something they can alter as they (more or less) see fit. I don't even mean selfishly, necessarily (although a witch friend of mine debated casting a spell to make a guy like her). But even if a spell was cast so that a friend had something good happen to them, that's still disregarding the natural flow of things and attempting to bend them to one's will. Very Sith-like. What that means, for me, is that while I don't see Wiccans as evil (I'm friends with more of them than I realize), I feel like power corrupts, and if Wiccans had a sizeable amount of power, they wouldn't hesitate to use it to improve their own existence. I don't see Taoists reacting that way to the same level of power. Just different schools of thinking; let me know what you think.
