Ooooh this is an interesting interpretation. Not too sure why this is a secret though, it seems like a good start to a discussion about Light's character. Is it because you say you pity him which might not go over well in some circles?

Kind of.

Partially because I feel like some people might take it as me making an excuse for his behavior when it's really not meant to be -- more of an explanation.

I think that if Light was less extreme in his views, he could have viewed his killing of the biker guy as a tragic mistake and stopped using the Death Note. But because he had such a strong sense of justice and was very black and white in his thinking, he couldn't step away from it.

There's one panel, when he's lost his memories, where he thinks of how Kira's ideals mirror his own but he dismisses the possibility of being Kira because he thinks that he'd never MURDER anyone.

And he's absolutely right in that sense -- his first killings are basically accidents (there's no way he SERIOUSLY thought the Death Note was real). And then he had to find a way to live with the consequences.

That's also a big reason why, when people say Light is so "dumb" for killing Lind L. Tailor that I don't buy it. It wasn't stupidity, but desperation and anger -- Tailor, by saying Light/Kira was evil, struck at the very heart of his fears and so emotionally he had to respond.

Basically, I just see him as absolutely trapped by his own sense of morality. He'll NEVER admit that he fucked up or could be wrong because to do so would make him an evil murderer and he can't live with that.
