Stereotypes are stereotypes. Light does not equal good, and darkness does not equal evil. I would equate light with chaos and darkness with order. Because light is the emission of waves, usually quite chaotic (with the exception of lasers). Also, light heats bodies, and heat is also chaos, which is understandable. Then darkness turns out to be more orderly, like the absence of light. That's why I chose darkness. Also because light carries some information, and darkness does not, so it contains a mystery, and mysteries are good because of the act of solving them. But my choice of darkness has absolutely nothing to do with evil or death: I am a cheerful person and try to be helpful to others whenever possible.

Don't deceive yourself; you chose darkness because you are evil.

you shouldn't pay attention to Inferno in my profile; it's not related to my worldview, but rather to my interest in playing as that faction.

I know your secret too, by the way :D

I prefer to play as a neutral faction and quietly raise skeletons in an abandoned cemetery.

It's foolish to associate darkness with evil and light with good. Light can be even more destructive. Take, for example, a laser beam. Can darkness be as destructive?
Ah, yes, darkness is the absence of light.

Light is a stream of particles, waves (of all sorts of ideologies)... And darkness is a truly pure substance. Nothing is purer than darkness ;) :)

Although... I think I'll change my opinion about Light and Darkness. It's better to be neutral. Even though there isn't a neutral option in the poll, I would still choose it. Light and Darkness are just ideals, prejudices. But if you only care about yourself, then neither the light nor the dark side will have anything against you (well, almost nothing). Because they are enemies, and if you're not on either side, they have no reason to pick on you. Besides, being neutral means you get everything for yourself, you do everything for yourself, etc. And you can also switch sides.

I really wanted to write "Light." But most of my life experiences point towards Darkness.

REMOVE THE FLOOD OF POSTS!
Let's analyze the monarch's post.

A complete answer to the question. THAT'S IT. In theory, this could have ended the discussion. Or it could start a new philosophical debate. BUT

1) LITERACY, LITERACY, LITERACY!
2) If the result is the same, WHY WRITE THIS? Or rather, why provide ONLY ONE example?:)
And... the FINAL PHRASE!

Did you even read the topic? Huh, young man?
Everyone who posts here says the same thing, but in a more beautiful and simpler way. Especially Sandro *bows in his direction*.

Hmm. If anyone hasn't understood yet, I'm actually "light"...
(Digression)But sometimes I lose it and start reasoning like a "dark" person. (End of digression)

Indeed, the order of things was different back then. And everyone was fine with it; no one saw anything reprehensible in it. It's similar to how, about 100 years ago in the USA, white gentlemen would disdainfully wrinkle their noses in the presence of African Americans.

Don't even get me started. Read the comments from other users; it's mind-blowing.

But regarding the topic – I'm for twilight. Not the kind where otherworldly beings lurk, and not the kind where gay vampires sparkle, but something in between light and darkness.
[Here's a bunch of tedious reasoning about harmony, Yin and Yang, quotes from Bulgakov, and so on, but the essence is the same – the truth lies somewhere in the middle.]
And, as far as I know, in the expanded Star Wars universe, Luke came to similar conclusions, which is why he deserves respect and admiration, and not just for his good looks.
