*Nods* that sounds about right.
That was never the impression I ever got. They seem to frown on restraint as a sign of weakness. The whole line about "My chains are broken, the force shall set me free" seemed pretty evident of that. To be able to pursue ones interest and desires unhindered, without fear or concern to hold them back, seems to be their highest ideal.
There's nothing villainous or evil about wanting to embrace the emotions and passions most relevant to human nature to improve ones' self. It's a highly optimistic and inspiring philosophy.
They don't pursue their passions without restraint, power and control are the other core tenants of their philosophy. Control over ones' fate and ones' self. Sith control their passions with an iron hand then channel and use them efficiently. They embrace and control their emotions, their emotions do not control them.
