And would have been better portrayed by Luke and Rey's storyline, where Luke's journey should have been towards the grey, and leaving Rey with that message. That the light cannot exist without the dark, so the only way to end the battle between the two is to find balance in yourself with the two.
But we didn't get that. Instead we got a rushed story that had Rey already embracing the light and wanting to drag Kylo into it.

The film spends an hour directly telling us to forget the past..forget what we know.

Which again gets undercut by the clear good vs. bad battle we are left with in Ren and Rey, and Rey holding onto the old Jedi texts (them being destroyed would have been the best message possible for the direction of this trilogy), and the Rebels getting into their old ship.
