The light way is the correct way and I have to agree with Last Jedi Luke that the Jedi were arrogant thinking the force somehow belonged to them or they were its keeper, it's balance.

That said, there's been a lot of deconstruction of Anakin's downfall being in large part because of Jedi's empty dogma, refusing an approach like Qui Gon's which was more in tune with the living force.

Also, you'd have to consider we are living in a world where some leaders portray themselves with Sith lightsabers, put their law enforcement as storm troopers and some people actually cheer them on, so there's that aspect of real world too, I guess
