imo the jedi code seems to equate the force with intellectualism and the harder degrees of absolute morality at the cost of emotion. To this end, a jedi can do bad things as a means to an end, of what may or may not be good intentions, and so long as he keeps emotions from influencing him, he can technically remain a jedi all the while.
This was most likely the root cause to the decline of the jedi order as a whole in episodes one and 2, as they abandoned their moralities as a means to an end to face the (manufactured) separatist threat. This in combination with the individual moral failings of jedi who turned to the dark side, and in switching, gave into their emotions as a means of dumping the jedi ways/ pure intellectualism, caused in the more overt examples of how jedi were falling to the dark side.
The sith code, conversely, values emotional perception/ misconception, and power and control as an end-all/be-all end-goal and result. intellectual thinking is at best, an afterthought and/or a way to find justifications and methods for gaining power and control over others for feel-good-isms and self-delusions. Morality is at best a vastly distant 3rd, and is very much a subjective relativity, if even bothered with at all. (usually it isnt)
Notoriously, the Sith are INFAMOUS for in-fighting, catty powerplaying and hierarchical jockying, and even with the rule of 2 instated, the endless backstabbing, betrayal, and cold war treachery between master and apprentice was made the rule, rather than an intrinsic byproduct, side effect or feature that happened to be the norm anyway.
