I was looking at all the exotic armour lore when I came to the most recent exotic armour for the hunter: Graviton Forfeit. The lore is from the perspective of what I think is a minion of darkness (An intelligent one at that) who tells you to think about who you are, what you are doing and why. The lore really got me thinking: are we (the guardians) really the good guys? I want your thoughts down below for discussion.
Edit:
Wow guys! I really didn't think this would become such a hot forum topic but let's keep it going!

I personally don’t think that’s what the helmet meant, however I think that these entire games are about perspective and our own sense of justice. (Sorry if it’s a tad long) For example, Aurash and her sisters took the steps to save the proto-Hive from the God-Wave (Or at least themselves). They have to kill to feed their worms, so they don’t die from the inside-out. They do grotesque things to create Ogres and steal Light, but it’s all for the sake of the Hive and their higher ups. Vex want to create a perfect world, filled with 1s and 0s, everything in its simplest form. They want to get to that one Dark Future where they survive and preserve their kind from the other futures they have predicted. The Fallen, well, it’s evident that they are struggling to keep their kind alive. They have created one house to share remaining resources with each other, and are in kind of a defense mode after the whole SIVA thing. And the Cabal, a species dedicated on domination to spread their kind across multiple planets, and even letting different conquered races call themselves Cabal. I can’t really call the Taken their own species. In conclusion, we can all look at these races as our enemies, or races trying to survive. Are we really any different?
