Actually the OP pretty much defined the difference between lightworkers and darkworkers.

Lightworkers integrate selfishness and selflessness, such that both motives work congruently. Self-sacrifice isn't part of the equation because it's self-defeating in the long run. But helping others intelligently benefits the helper as well. By focusing on service to others, a lightworker finds it easy to achieve happiness and meet all his/her needs with ease. A lightworker learns that to be truly effective, s/he must achieve personal happiness and fulfillment as well.

Darkworkers perceive a conflict (dichotomy) between selfishness and selflessness, and they choose selfishness as the primary aim. A darkworker eventually learns that in order to be maximally happy, s/he must learn to serve others as well.

As I've said before, both polarities ultimately lead to the same place. Choosing a polarized path (vs. staying in the middle) can be an intense growth accelerator. The lessons come harder and faster.
