I feel like this is just another one of those 'For the Greater Good' characters. They believe that their goal is right, and that they should have the power necessary to accomplish it. So, Salem pulled a Voldemort. She created an organization that operates through her, and they are working for her goal. Ozpin comes in, much like Dumbledore, and opposes her. I think that he too, had believed he had been more right in what he was doing at some point, just as Dumbledore himself had when he was but a boy. I do think that the two, Ozpin and Salem, are connected in some way. Possibly Ozpin's reincarnation is not because of his failure, but because he did something he shouldn't have. Maybe he is just creating his own side to let himself die, in a sense. Imagine it. Far in the past, Ozpin and Salem shared the same goal. They wanted it done the same way, and bonded because of it. Yet, the brother gods saw it as something terrible of him. So, they afflicted the two with a curse. To live forever, but to Ozpin, to reincarnate forevermore. Salem has lost the memory of the two sharing that goal, and merely sees him as what lies between her and her mysterious goals. I'd bet it has something to do with humanity, if she wants to collect the relics. Maybe to destroy humanity for all I know. But, I'd say that Salem could possibly be on the right side, and Ozpin being on the wrong. Maybe that's why Ozpin was cursed, because he wished to use it for reasons the gods found bad.

BUT, this is all just speculation based on some similarities and theories I have regarding the eternal duo.
