As Steve has shown with the Star Wars analogy, the lightworker vs darkworker theme seems to be a recurrying one, especially in the fantasy genre. I personally love the Harry Potter series, and I can see Dumbledore as the epitome of the lightworker, with the Death Eaters exemplifying the darkworkers.

Each of you can perhaps recount your favorite stories that have a similar theme. I believe it is not a coincidence that all these authors happened to revisit the same themes, in essentially, the same way. I have heard that there are only so many unique story lines (see the movie Stranger than Fiction), but that alone does not explain it. I feel like these authors are tapping into some universal truth, and simply providing different interpretations of it. Those of it who like these works do so because these stories reignite that same universal truth within us.

There was some doubt in this discussion whether darkworkers would necessarily be "bad". From the Potter analogy, I feel that eventually, a darkworker will become "bad" like the Death Eaters, and ultimately like Voldemort. That is because, by definition, a darkworker has embraced the principle of doing what is good for themselves, even if it is not good for others. The principle changes their perception of good and evil - they will only appear evil to lightworkers and to those who are not polarized.
