He didn't like the burden of the selfish urges and wanted it to be taken off of him? I always thought it was the burnden of immortality he was talking about. I just think that linking the Darkness to demonic possession makes Rumple a much less interesting character. Rather than a story about how power corrupts it's "aww poor baby Rumple". He becomes a passive character. Zoso wanting to be rid of The Darkness can be interpeted multiple ways in Season 1, but what is clear is there are reasons Zoso would rather be dead than be The Dark One any longer, and he did not explain those reasons to Rumple.
