That my friend, sadly, is not true.
Abuse of others is hardwired into our system.

Using a real or perceived position of authority and/or power to abuse people sexual or otherwise has nothing what so ever to do with biology.

Specie social behavior is biological instincts, and domination, sexual and otherwise, is very much part of it. Watch a chimpanzee tribe's interactions for a while before you go off thinking perversions. Unfortunately, it is basic, and civilized behavior is a learned trait. That's what religion is about, to hold yourself to godly ideals.

Alas, even this is used for ages to abuse others.

I guess we can just agree to disagree.

The veneer of civilization runs deeper in some individuals than others. To you, it might well seem instinctual because of good upbringing. Kudos to you and your parents for that.

re: retirement. i retired in 2009 and did not like it. I went back to work for my old company under much better terms and will probably work until they carry me out feet first.

I feel abused. I'm down to my last Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Liking retirement is a learned behavior that accomplished and successful people often have struggled with. Quite a few are like you, others just drop dead out of boredom, and there are those like myself who learn how to enjoy and indulge themselves and family as a full time job. If, however, working floats your boat, do it.

Nope.
It's scientific fact.

No, that's deprived. Pretty much opposite.
