Here's the deal, from my perspective.
I'm one of those people with a low heart rate and stimuli threshold.
But, I'm a pacifist and don't like violence. I went through some anti-social stages early in life but made a CHOICE.
Just like I, when I was a bouncer, saw people who were troublemakers stop doing something they were doing when they saw me coming. People who later (as I was throwing them out) told me that it was not their fault because they "were sick", going so far as to show me their meds. People are nuts about clubs in a college town. But, they did not try to hit me, someone they knew was bigger and had others around to back him up? Why, if they were sick and could not help themselves? CHOICE.
If you know the difference between right and wrong, what is expected and what is required and what is not, you have the CHOICE.
Sure, for some it is harder than others, just like for me it is harder to take a shower and brush my teeth & tell my son a bedtime story because I am disabled... but I do it, I choose to.
(BTW. I made a good bouncer because I was a pacifist, it is how I got the job... I have never hit anyone out of anger or first in my life.)
