If it's due to some genuine concern for the well-being of others, then such a person isn't polarized.
A darkworker would avoid harming others to the degree it makes sense from a purely selfish point of view, such as by avoiding a backlash or because he needs people's cooperation, but he really doesn't care about their well-being as individuals. If a darkworker found it most expedient to harm someone and felt it could be done w/o serious consequences, he'd have no qualms about doing so. He wouldn't feel held back by his conscience because his conscience tells him that his own good is the highest good there is.
Darkworkers don't seek to harm people as an end in itself. They aren't intentionally sadistic or cruel. They only consider harming someone when that person is seen as an obstacle and there isn't a more efficient solution available.
Do you think Stalin felt guilty about all the people he sentenced to die? Unlikely. Anyone who was a perceived threat to his power had to go. |
it occurs to me that a darkworker is a deluded lightworker. Stalin only did what he did out of thinking he was doing what would help his "people". darkworkers think they are doing what's best just as a lightworker does. the difference is that the darkworker thinks of being separate from everyone else, or their group is, and that what makes that separate self better or achieve something is best. The lightworker does not see people/animals as separate and doesn't even make a distinction of little self versus other people/animals.
