    There’s a huge difference between your true self and your societal masks. Just because you don’t act on your base impulses, because of the repercussions, doesn’t mean you don’t have and experience them.

        Nah, I’m saying if you naturally have mean thoughts, that you constantly need to suppress, then you’re probably an asshole. I would assume most people are generally good.
