I don't think all predatory people are necessarily bad or that all prey people are all good either. It's something that seems to be learned in childhood as a means of dealing with the world around us. It may be partly genetic too. Predatory people may have had parental examples that they unconsciously learned from. Pretty horrible parents for a child to deal with.
Sometimes, a predatory person can be shown how they act towards their environment & others, & they're surprised & are willing to try changing their built-in reactions. Other times, they don't want to or are so used to dealing with life like this that the effort is too much for them.
I guess that's why I'm an optismist. I think there's hope for everyone, practically. The desire to change has to come from within though.
