When you were shoplifting, did you do that because you fear of something? Or because you greed of something? But you said you would give away most of the things you stole because you didn't need them. Hence the greed part of the equation should be moot then. But what did you fear?
As for when you were in college finishing your course in 3 semesters, what were your fears and your greeds?
Personally I feel that your article isn't potraying the truth for darkworking sides. Examples such as Enron, Iraq war sounds a lot like DW who went through DW-syndrome, and hence are ultimately failed examples of DW. Someone mentioned Genghis Khan here in this thread, and I think that is more of a correct image of a successful DW. Perhaps your article is meant to sway people into lightworking. Otherwise it seems a little biased.

Fear is all about level of consciousness. Once a darkworker reaches a high level of consciousness like Genghis Khan, he isn't motivated by fear. He becomes motivated by love of self.
Steve used fear but he was a newbie darkworker. Fear was the entry to darkwork for him, and if he had continued to polarize he would have learned to master his fear and base his actions on pure love of self.
Star Wars is a very apt analogy, and it's by no mistake - George Lucas had Joseph Campbell help design the plot and characters of Star Wars to fit into the ancient archetypes. All of these things we're speaking of are just re-hashes of ancient archetypes that exist throughout our galaxy.
Yoda was speaking the truth when he said, "Fear is the path to the darkside." But notice that it's only the PATH, not the deep-level motivation. If you're a darkworker who continues to be afraid and doesn't learn to master your fear, you will always be a slave to other darkworkers who can master their fear.
The Emperor in Star Wars, or Genghis Khan in real life, are basically what you could call fully enlightened darkworkers who act out of a very intense and pure love of self.
You can certainly attain enlightenment on the left-hand path, but the paradox is that once you do, you realize that All Is One and you instantly and willingly reverse your polarity and re-unite with the positive.
All roads lead to unification with the One Creator, who has no polarity, and exists in all things. Of course this is truly eons away for us - we're talking trillions of years of evolution here. How do you want to spend the next trillion years? Dominating people through an intense love-of-self in separation-consciousness, or unifying with people in compassion and love and the glory of Christ-consciousness?
It's an easy choice for me.
