[Star Wars] How in the hell is the Dark Side of the Force so attractive?

Ok, I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but hear me out.

Everyone says the Dark Side is seductive. Once you dip a toe in the pond, it snatches you and drags you in. I don't see how that would even work. Unless you lost everything and everyone, where the Dark Side truly can provide for you.

Isn't it rational to have some self-awareness after having committed a Dark Side worthy act and try to become a better Jedi?

"Oh shit I gave in to hate... looks like I'm a Sith Lord now" doesn't even seem believable. Is it the Jedi Council's weird "hate leads to..." schtick that forces a Jedi to choose? Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy? Why is redemption so hard for a Dark Side user?

You have a major misunderstanding of what the Dark Side and the Jedi way is. It's not an act or a series of acts, it's a **mindset**. 

Non-attachment and serenity are the heart of the Jedi code - the ability to accept what life throws at you and give up things when it is time to let them go. To peacefully surrender to and listen to an outside power so you can act independent of your emotions. 

The Dark Side on the other hand is easy. Take charge, anger, fear use your emotions to twist the Force and power will just come.

But those two are opposites. The more you depend on your emotions and your rage and fear, the harder it is to summon serenity. The more you struggle and fear and hold on to power or people etc, the more difficult it is to let go. By the time you've done something undeniably horrible, you've spent so long surrounded by fear and hate that it's near impossible to give it up.
