Red Apple and the Pages of Death

To save me from heartache, I will justify the ending with these 3 factors:

 

1. How Light respond to the possibility of a  new world presented to him

 

Human is neither good nor evil, it is left with the choices they made under the circumstances. Light for an instant was presented with an otherworldly power and chose to confront the opportunity with malice. While it is true that order is the law of man, chaos, on the other hand, is the law of nature. But there is no absolute order, no absolute world and no absolute person that has the liberty to pass judgment among his own kind.

 

2. How Light confronts the idiosyncrasies of the world he wants to create

 

The world is twisted, yes, but no matter how twisted it has become, no person should abhor ill-meaning to the person who commits the sin, but to the sins committed. But this is not generally true for Light, as Kira he sees, committing a crime is a conscious choice and being oppressed is a conscious choice. He wants to stand up to those who have been withheld with justice. He is justice and he is reaching out to the fewer good, playing God and eradicating evil through the tip of a pen and onto the pages of the killer notebook.

 

3. How, in the end, Light was killed by the justice he strongly desires

 

It is not L who apprehended Light, it was not Near who bested Light, it was the justice he fervently wrote in the pages of the death note that leads to his fall. The justice he served cold to the sinners, justice he thought could make him God. He had lost not because he was not smart enough, he lost because he was swallowed by the gravity of the power that was lent to him. And in the end, the name of the "justice" the world has come to know ended up in one of the pages of the death note. 

 

Conclusion:

 

Tread not a path where you only see diamonds, the road is not as smooth as it may seem. Diamonds do sparkle and they may never lose its shine, but you could end up getting blind. Once you do, there is no turning back, after all, diamonds are forever and life is too short to be lost in its charm.

 

Light, he may have had a good intention. But slowly he got swallowed how huge his intentions were, and just like the deal he had with a death god, death did claim him, unsympathetically.
