Come to the Dark Side, Luke - Kevin LaZur

In stories with 2 clear-cut sides of good and evil, like Star Wars, it's easy to go along with the simple motivations of each side. The bad guys want power, and the good guys are trying to stop the bad guys. I believe that morality isn't that simple. As much as I would like the bad guys to be wearing black hoods and openly wield their destructive power, it is never as simple as that. Morality is subjective. What benefits some might not benefit others. In the X-men universe, the human non-mutant government takes extreme, violent measures against the mutants to protect their own. There are way more humans than mutants, the humans never attacked the mutants unless out of self-defense, and humans have been killed by mutants. Is it wrong of them to want to protect themselves against something that has showed itself to be a threat?

Morality isn't clear-cut and simple. Many factors come into play, such one's objective, their motivation, and how they go about accomplishing their objective. In Breaking Bad, his objective is to provide his family with money before he dies, but he goes about this by cooking crystal meth. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby just wanted love, the most innocent desire in the world. To win Daisy's heart, he used money that he got illegally. If you have watched or read through the entirety of these examples, you will know that the means don't always justify the ends.
