All the time? This I cannot agree with. 

Most of the time, I could have agreed.

I disagree and offer slavery that existed for way too long. It still does but we basically ignore it.

I think we are getting more civilized but have a ways to go till we can say that good wins out all the time.

I agree, but our brains take instructions from our DNA and instincts, and they default to the good, which means that the love bias is created ahead of the hate bias. 

Defaulting to love is the better survival strategy.
