Did you vote me down? I never said anything about people not changing. My post has nothing to do with destiny or the human capacity to change themselves.
In a sense what I'm saying is the more darker conclusion from this experiment is that the "power" given out in the experiment didn't magnify or change anything. The guards in the experiment were already corrupt, the experiment only served to reveal their true nature.
Aspects of Darkness exist within us all. We've all felt the tug of greed, anger, lust, gluttony and hate to certain extent and we've all taken measures to hide this darkness. Power eliminates fear and reveals traits that we would otherwise hide.
I'm not saying everyone is inherently evil, nor am I saying people can't change. My belief is that people can change, some people are more evil than others and that power reveals the true nature of a man.
