They weren't always the most helpful things, sometimes fragmentary or contradictory, but oftentimes something useful could come out of them.

"Jedi say that because they fear and shun the Darkness. Ironic given their attitude towards fear in general.

It is passion and courage and determination. Something with those qualities in it cannot possibly be all bad. It just so happens that so many who use it are corrupted into evil. But there are places in the galaxy where the Dark Side exists in harmony with everything around it. On my home planet of Dathomir, the entire planet exists as a nexus for the Dark Side.
