"The very essence of their beings compels to behave this way."

You haven't been watching this series very long, have you? The Elements of Harmony do not "compel" the Mane Six in any capacity. They represent their BEST attributes, not their ONLY attributes.

Applejack can still lie. Dash can still be a flake, Fluttershy can still get angry, Rarity can still be selfish, etc. The idea that they're magically inclined toward the Elements they represent against their will is ludicrous.
