the dark side

"The dark side" typically refers to a concept or metaphor representing negative, malicious, or unethical aspects of someone's personality or actions. It is often associated with evil, sinister motives or behavior, temptation, and corruption. The phrase became widely known through its use in popular culture, such as in the Star Wars franchise, where it represents the path followed by Sith Lords, who use their power for self-gain, domination, and destruction. It can also be used more generally to describe any morally ambiguous or morally unacceptable behavior or actions.
