Question Statement :

Have you ever noticed how the worst part of someone's personality is often also the best? You may know an anally retentive, detail oriented accountant who never cracks a joke, nor understands any, but this is in fact what makes him the perfect accountant. Or you may have a flamboyant aunt who constantly embarrasses everyone with her big mouth, yet is the life of every party. The same duality applies to our species. We human beings certainly don't like our aggressiveness – at least on most days – but would a society without it be so great? Wouldn't we all be as meek as lambs? Our sports teams wouldn't care about winning or losing, entrepreneurs would be impossible to find, and pop stars would sing only boring lullabies. I'm not saying that aggressiveness is good, but it enters into everything we do, not just murder and mayhem.

The negative sides of individuals' personalities can hide much more positive qualities; similarly, a negative trait like aggressiveness can be beneficial to the human species.
Just as individuals need the negative aspects of their personalities to bring out their positive sides, human beings need a negative trait like aggressiveness to bring out their positive qualities.
Just as the worst aspects of individuals' personalities can often also be the best, aggressiveness, a negative aspect of the human species, also has positive aspects.
The worst parts of individuals' personalities can sometimes also be the best; similarly, the worst part of the human species –aggressiveness –is also its best feature.
