^^I do think it is ultimately a choice. Like a drug, you can indulge in them or not depending on what you choose. However, the more you “taste”, the more you want.
I would say the Dark Side is even worse because a Force user cannot just “turn off” being a Force user so the temptation of indulging in uncontrolled passion, aggression or hateful acts is constant. But even then, it remains a choice I think.
