Which is really weird considering he says it's "human nature". So if it is bad, nothing can be done about it. (Which makes one wonder what the whole point of the concepts of "good" and "bad" really are.) “I have to disagree with V’s use of the word asshole because this post acts like being an asshole is a bad thing.”

But "growing and evolving as an individual" is *impossible* in your view because Human Nature(TM) means *everyone* is bad and *cannot be* any other way!

And that also means there is free will to CHANGE.
