Perhaps, it all could be viewed as though it just is the way it is and our place is to try and understand our individual role in it all?
I have added a few passages from the Hagakure that I think may help to shed light on my stance.
A man who makes a mistake once will be considerably more prudent and useful because of his repentance…A man who has never once erred is dangerous.
It is a fact that fish will not live where the water is too clear. But if there is duckweed or something, the fish will hide under its shadow and thrive. Thus, the lower classes will live in tranquility if certain matters are a bit overlooked or left unheard. This fact should be understood with regard to people’s conduct.
It is not good to settle into a set of opinions. It is a mistake to put forth effort and obtain some understanding and then stop at that. At first putting forth great effort to be sure that you have grasped the bastes, then practicing so that they may come to fruition is something that will never stop for your whole lifetime. Do not rely on following the degree of understanding that you have discovered, but simply think, “This is not enough.”
One should search throughout his whole life how best to follow the Way. And he should study, setting his mind to work without putting things off. Within this is the Way.
No matter what it is, there is nothing that cannot be done. If one manifests the determination, he can move heaven and earth as he pleases. But because man is pluckless, he cannot set his mind to it. Moving heaven and earth without putting forth effort is simply a matter of concentration.

Again the 'them' vs. 'us' comes up again and again and again and again and again ... :whistle:
When shall we resist that itchy urge to find someone/something to blame for our pain ?
When shall we outgrow that stupid "need" to have an enemy ?
Couldn't we conjecture that the pulsion to go wailing on the 'Sith' with our lightsabres (that is to say the discernement that we HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO MASTER in most cases) is about as evolved as our ancestors 200 000 generations ago, just out of the trees and not even standing completely upright were to go pounding to a bloody puddle with a big bone (that they hadn't mastered yet either) the 'evil ones' who lived just over the hill ?
Our true enemies are not 'Sith'. In fact, our true enemies are not people at all, but illusion. It is the shit-pile of the 95% of our belief system(s) that are utterly false and lead to crap opinions, unjust prejudices and self-recrimination -- compare, contrast and 'condemn'.
So, yes Desolous ... the Sith invaded. We brought them in with us and we cling to them for dear righteousness ...

When you have poison in your food you have an enemy.
when you fight against the coded word that the criminal invent to do the power of illusion you an enemies.
When you have an enemy , at any kind of speed like writing , guessing and playing around with sith you have different perspective of an enemies.

But they had been corrupt by a sith lord .And remember there a lot speed in life to move in to travel. And disappear through he force .When one day you all find and let say you find at a very high intensity of fighting .I sure most of you experience that .The thing is when you arrived the next morning and you all dressed up it is difficult to speak about you fight of the last night .And through the mont that passes the sith come back a lot of time and finally over you to work with him .But that call submission of the obscure of the force .And many of are in that way .But remember that I kind of experience that my self.

Much like how most people look at us and stereotype us, Jedi new to Jediism do the same to the Sith. I don't know if they're still around, but we've had Sith as members here on the site before. They are not who you think they are.
I didn't read the monster of the thread, but I wanted to make a comment. If the Sith were ANYTHING like they were in the fiction, they wouldn't say they were Sith on public fora.
