Someone leaves a romantic note on the counter for their spouse. Someone gives to a charity. Someone adopts a puppy. Some adopts a child. Someone is forced to fight in a war. Someone starts a war.

Can you guess the polarity of this hypothetical someone based solely on these actions?

Many would think to themselves, "only a darkworker would start a war" but it's not the case; if a lightworker were in a position of power and his people were suffering and all diplomatic efforts had failed you can bet he'd go to arms. On the flipside, a darkworker might do everything possible to avoid a war because it would take a heavy toll on his nation. It'd be a lot of stress and it would eat up resources that could be used elsewhere.

Now put the actions in context and you might be able to divine the motivation, but the motivation is not inherent to the action.
