Many gave their lives so that we could live on. I intend to honor them by remembering them. Remember Cyborg. Remember John. Remember Noble.

The Forerunners were not tyrants.
Also, humanity would not exist had the Flood not defeated the Forerunners.
Food for thought.
How so?
It's been thought that since we are the only species that can activate major installations built by the forerunners, that we have been genetically modified by the forerunners. Now how modified we have become is what's up to debate, but it's at the very least a boost on technological skill, overall intelligence, and the genetic coding to access forerunner tools.
We already know that the forerunners had to have had copies of us to transport back to earth from the ark once the Halo array had done it's job, so essentially if it wasn't for the flood beating the forerunners we as we are now would not exist. We may be slightly different, but we would probably be a lot less technologically advanced.
No copies, they did not customize us, we do not exist because of the Flood.
Instead, the Forerunners transported us to the Ark, they customized their technology or just made it compatible with... us. We were at Earth before the Flood attacked.
