I enjoyed playing darkside quite a bit more than I did lightside, because to me, it reflects what most people would do with that kind of power; they would abuse it for their own personal gain and by so doing, harm those around them. In my eyes, the dark side is symbolic of human nature: following impulses and satisfying desires, whereas the lightside could be summed up as the super-ego, as Freud might say, where one does only what one thinks it right or just.
The darkside represents what it means to be human, whereas the lightside would remove itself from any trace of humanity (love, friendship, emotion, passion, anger, fear, any and all of which define the human being). It is difficult to call oneself human after cutting oneself off from everything that defines humanity, but then again, denying their humanity seems to be what being a Jedi is all about. Mouse from The Matrix said it the best "To deny our own impulses, is to deny the very thing that makes us human"
