What if darkworkers and lightworkers or both subsets of desireworkers?

What if both being a darkworker and a lightworker is 'bad'?

If you have a desire to do 'good' then you are still bending the world to fit with your desires.

So to achieve enlightenment, if we should believe buddhism for example, would mean to move beyond both darkworking and lightworking, to move beyond desire working, and free yourself from desire.

Otherwise I think 'darkworking' just refers to having desires that are not deemed to be 'good' by the dominant majority. I mean, who says that creating a virus that annihilates 99% of the world's population won't eventually have a very positive outcome?
