Imagine if he controlled the entire earth. Have you seen a government that treats his people badly last long? Of course not. Therefore he would obviously please his people and punish the opposers in order to maintain power. He would end up creating political and economical oneness, saving the world from constant wars that kill much more people than his punishments would have killed.
And in the long run, once the world is united, it would develop economically and technologically more quickly than now with all these differences, and since more riches would be created, there wouldnt be millions of persons per year dying from hungry, and all the lives wasted in the wars that were needed to create world oneness would eventually be compensated by many times by the lives saved from death of lack of food and proper medical treatments.
Now imagine this scenario being accomplished by a lightworker. Its possible isnt it? He also thought about all of the benefits for the world in the long run and decided he was willing to pay the price with precious humans lives wasted in the wars needed to create the world oneness. Maybe a bit less persons would die in the proccess since he would rather not kill the opposers but rather arrest them, even though war between nations would be impossible to avoid. But in the end the result would be the same, and only a fraction of human lives more would be saved than in the darkworker scenario.
What changes is the reason. One is for power the other is for the benefit of the whole. The results are the same. There's the balance. |
I totally agree that either polarity can do either "good" or "bad" things.
My contention is against the notion that "evil" doesn't exist. It does exist, and it is what we'd classify as someone who cares nothing for others and is willing to murder/rape/torture/dominate/brutalize
If you polarize to the dark you are much more likely to end up doing murder, rape, torture, lying and so on. A lightworker would tend to avoid these whereas a darkworker would have no problem with them as long as he can get away with it.
There is no good reason why a darkworker is going to follow socially acceptable moral laws when he is not being forced to. For instance when Steve was a darkworker, he learned how to steal. And so he stole. It was a very doable thing, and now that he is an accomplished shoplifter I bet he is very very capable of stealing anything whenever he wants to, and not getting caught. At worst he'd have to explain to the shopowner, "oh I forgot to pay for this. I'm so sorry." And they would believe him because he's an affluant 30-something white male.
Shoplifting is the type of crime that is very easy to get away with and has a very low risk, especially if you're an adult.
So why does Steve pay for his gum at the store when he could just lift it? Because he realises it's immoral and doesn't want to harm the world.
Why doesn't Steve pirate software? Because he wants the programmers to benefit.
In a conventional sense light vs. dark is morality vs. immorality. There are certainly exceptions but in general a darkworker is going to commit more murder and a lightworker is going to feel more compassion.
I think it's very naieve to overlook this fact when choosing a polarity.
Is there anything wrong with murder, genocide, etc? IMO that's a personal choice. It's an issue of personal morality. But your decision on that question WILL have a bearing on your polarity because it's very very hard for a lightworker to justify murder, whereas a darkworker will do it as long as he can get away it and it benefits him.
I could just be one sided. But if you're working for yourself and ONLY yourself this neccessarily means that you are going to take whatever you can from others. If it's takable anonymously, you'll take it. If you're alone on a road with no one watching, you'll litter. If you have nothing to benefit from helping someone out, you won't help them. Anonymous charity is the antithesis of darkwork and the modus operandi of lightwork.
