Yes, I think that way about dark/light being subsets. It's in Steve's definition too. He put it as devoting one self to service. Then light/dark is supposed to qualify which direction that service it going. I see it more as the service expands across a spectrum from self (dark) to family, friends, world (light). And this expansion includes the other parts before it. So, yeah, light and dark are a subset of service (desireworkers) - and then dark is a subset of lightworkers.

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.

Yes, duality is hanging around. Hmmm... I'd like to think a lightworker is closer to realizing non-duality and harmony. And that is the grandest motivator everyone has - to be able to "go home", remember God, be one with all. A lightworker has an expanded realm of where his/her service goes - and that service is maybe to try to be motivated to be as whole and peaceful as possible, to not harm, etc - to be more buddha like.

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?

I'm not sure that darkworking has been refered to as not "good". Many have been trying to say darkworkers are just as kind as lightworkers.
