We join, we sin and hate, but we detest and seek to destroy (often succeeding) that which separates us from others so that we can grow, love and know God, that we causes us to sin no more, and which gravitates us to gather love to ourselves.
One obvious definition of being basically depraved is that we welcome what is bad for us, and reject what is good for us.
Those that are naturally good or are good through hard work and merit (the Good Spirits, although some eternally have been basically good, God having so created them) welcome what is good for them, and eschew what is bad for them, but this is not the human way.
