I May Have Found Something Crazy in the Grimoire Cards
So one day on my train ride to school, I was poking around my Grimoire cards. I went from the "allies" section to the "mysteries and legends" section. I proceeded to read the Black Garden card when something caught my eye. I'll summarize what I read, but I highly recommend you read it yourselves.
The Guardian, Pujari, had a vision of the Black Garden. He stumbled upon a Ghost-like being blossoming out of a flower. He went to pluck the flower but a thorn poked him and he bled Light. The Ghost says to Pujari, "You are a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill. You do not belong here. This is a place of life."
The Guardian protests saying that the Traveler is life. However, he looks back at the serene landscape of the Black Garden, and he felt doubt. Once raised back up from his vision, the cut was still on his hand.
The Ghost-like flower tells Pujari that all us Guardians will ever do is kill. That is exactly what we do. How many times have we slain Atheon, and Crota? How many strikes and patrol missions have we completed by terminated everything that stands in our paths? We are stuck in an endless loop of murder set forth by the Traveler and the speaker. According to the Ghost-flower, we are dead and we were brought up by something that is also dead (the Traveler).
So maybe we really aren't what we think we are. Maybe we have been fighting for the wrong reason, as The Stranger briefly mentions in Destiny's sorry in-game story. Maybe, like Pujari, we have to wake up to what truly is "the light."
Please leave any other conspiracies, comments, or other theories below. I think Destiny's story could have potential, if Bungie does it right. Thanks for reading.
See you starside.

Well this is EVERYTHING that I think based on this and what I know so get ready. Normally what would've happened is that The Traveler would have used the solar system and humanity as a scapegoat. By giving them the golden age they thought they could trust it and so they welcomed it with open arms. However from reading Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 5, you see that he saw through The Traveler's facade and did everything in its power to stop it leaving (Link here just scroll down the page http://www.destinypedia.com/Grimoire/Allies/Rasputin) The traveler of course found this out and therefore expecting that it will not be able to leave, it created the ghosts and a last line of defense for itself, again in theory using humanity for its own endeavors. It us unsure whether The Traveler is dead or not, because all we know is Rasputin stopped it from leaving. Now that the darkness is here, Guardians are lead to believe that we are killing the darkness and saving the Traveler. Why? Because it gave us the golden age, as a backup plan. The ghost flower is right in the sense that all we do is kill, but do it for The Traveler. We were raised from corpses, so that explains the shape of the dead, and the dead thing that we are may hint to the fact that we don't feel any remorse for killing so much, and the dead power would also mean the Traveler. All we do is kill. and that's exactly right. We don't think of the repercussions or the consequences that these factions feel, all we think about is defending the Traveler. We just commit mindless, mass murder because "We have to defend the traveler". That's the thing though, is the Traveler is either dormant or already dead and it never cared about is in the first place. It gave us technology and then attempted to use us as a scapegoat, but Rasputin stopped it, so now it's just stuck there. Possibly forever. I also feel the Speaker is behind something too but I will save that for some other time. Hope this cleared something up and sorry for the huge read ^_^
