[inverse Paranoid]

What happens when someone is miraculously healed from a supposedly incurable form of cancer? Do you really think it's simply a case of the body being able to manufacture a high enough quantity of white blood cells? Or is there something more to it?

By simply writing off darkworkers we'd be giving up on a generation of extremely capable individuals who for whatever reason were swayed towards the "dark-side".

If you corner a group of darkworkers, and offer them no way out, you can expect that they will do everything in their power to defend themselves, and probably succeed in taking a few lightworkers down with them. But, what if you had them "beat" and rather than swooping in for the "kill" you offered them a hand?

Perhaps they would go right back to their darkworker ways, but the humility of defeat coupled with lightworker magnanimity would be fertile grounds for planting the seeds of change. They would have to wonder why they were spared. Those seeds of confusion may soon grow into seeds of doubt. And even if those seeds were never to blossom in these particular darkworkers, they would carry it everywhere they went, and it would soon permeate darkworker waters.

You say that darkworkers don't lead, they control. But isn't controlling the much more difficult task? One that takes a tremendous amount of ambition to even think about attempting?

What would happen if we could recognize darkworkers as masterful leaders just waiting to be hatched? If we could see their blind ambition as conscious inspiration just waiting to be transmuted?

If this is a civil war that's brewing then I can't help but wonder if there's a possibility for win-win. What would have happened if Lincoln could have convinced Lee to fight for the North? How much sooner would the civil war have ended? How many more lives saved?

Will the Arlington of our future be a museum... or another cemetery? It's for the conscious to decide.
