Very good post. Everyone has a dark side, nobody is an exception to that rule. It seems many people have not made friends with that dark side, so it ends up coming out in insulting those who have a darker nature than most(a Narcissist like me).

Anyone can be vindictive or otherwise destructive. Destructive behavior is not limited to any label. I've seen people who have high levels of empathy do truly terrible things, you don't have to lack empathy to commit evil acts.
Thanks for this!
