Ok. I appreciate the conversation we are having. Unfortunately, I am on Mobile, and thus do not have the ability to reference back to your text. However, I would argue that the laws of Nature are, by definition, neither good nor evil. Just as you stated. Yet you fail to realize something.... Mankind, as well as the other species in the Destiny universe, is sentient. The question of what makes sentience is a topic for another time, however, so let's just assume that sentience means that you are aware that you are aware. That is, you can ask the bigger questions. That path leads to science and so forth. So sentience. We are sentient. We can choose many things in our lives. Our actions, our words. Heck, we can even go against the nature of living beings itself and commit suicide. Once you breach this point, nay, approach this point, you are responsible for your actions. There is no law forcing your hand. No demon or devil plotting. It is just you, and you alone. So, can you be rid of all blame, simply because it is how the nature is programmed? Because it is how the laws around us work? Yes. I believe so. But only if you are not sentient. That, Guardian, is key. To paraphrase: yes, these various creatures of The Darkness are "evil", as their sentience has been achieved. They choose a path, and they stick to it. Great talk, by the way. I assume you are a Warlock? I would love to continue this discussion, but to avoid filling up this forum with philosophical debates that many may find annoying, could you just shoot me a Message? I would love to continue this discussion there, and perhaps we could even run a few strikes together sometime, to have this discussion firsthand. Pleasure talking to you.
