Light is a tragic figure. Before the beginning, he had everything going for him, and was otherwise, psychologically, just another moderately, naturally flawed genius. Then he has the misfortune to be the one to pick up the Death Note, and he becomes cursed. He starts on the whirlpool to Hell. People like to say that he had "good intentions" but he says early on, from the beginning, when he realized what he can do with the Death Note, that his ultimate goal is to be the God of a new world, in which he is judge, jury, and executioner, and the world bows to him. His arrogance and conceit, his need to be #1, are brought to negative effect, to the point that he would kill innocents to see his plan come to fruition, to the point that he has to reluctantly be willing to kill off his loved ones to keep his scheme alive and get away with it. Whether he always had the seed of a cold hati, tengah-tengah in him, atau whether his humanity was completely eaten sejak the curse of the Death Note, is unclear. Ultimately, after thousands are mercilessly killed, his life is ruined, all that horror and killing for nothing, and he doesn't even get to live the good life he was destined for, before Ryuk.
