My thoughts are that the Dark Side is quicker and easier and perhaps stronger at first, but a true devotee to the Light Side is so much more powerful. We also have the fact that the Dark Side twists and corrupts it's users. So, what do you think? State you opinion and feel free to discuss (mind it I said discuss, not argue) which side you think is better

I only believe that it is how you use the force that makes it light or dark.

Let's say that by becoming the leader of this firm, along the way up to that path, you've made the same mistakes and decisions that your now ex-rival made. Now you've become the thing that you've worked so long and so hard to replace. So if you start out with good intentions, but then become bad on the way there, what path is that? It's not good, but it's not evil. Then let's say that you make the same ruthless business decisions, but give regularly to charity. So what are you then? Mind you, I'm kind of twisting you're original example,and playing the devil's advocate, but look at what I made!

Mind you, I'm kind of twisting you're original example,and playing the devil's advocate, but look at what I made! It's all hypothetical. No harm, no foul as far as I'm concerned. That stated, remember that the crux of the example given centers around choice. Let's say one took the difficult road, worked his butt off to earn his way to the top, and then wound up becoming, as you say, the "thing that he's worked so long and so hard to replace." What we have is not a dilemma centering around precepts of strength or moral quandaries dealing with whether the original decision was right or wrong, but rather we have in this example a deviation. Because ultimately, there was a point at which our hero ( ) made a choice that took him off the difficult (but right) road and set him off on the easy (but wrong) path. Choosing the right path once in no way guarantees that you will remain on that path. Hence the difficulty of it.
