I'm very surprised you're getting downvoted for this, since it's basic psychology, the basic human condition, and unequivocally correct. Do people really not understand the human condition? It's a very powerful thing once you come to grips with it and quantify its role in your life, and it was key in me shedding a lot of parts of my self that I did not want.

I personally believe it's important to accept it instead of trying to deny it, before you can progress toward the positive role you want from your life. How can you be good if you don't understand your ingrained propensity for bad? How can you control something you do not understand?

You should heed what this comment is saying and think about it, rather than try to be 'above' it. It's accepting yourself...
