Why are people so cruel and mean? ?
Hmmm, I struggle with this myself even at the ripe age of 41. I have learned to hear and value honesty more over the years because I was raised in a protect, sheltered environment that frequently did not want to see or accept reality. There was too much fantasy land nonsense and not enough of a real picture of life. Having said that I am not always interested in BRUTAL honesty. Right now I m in a relationship with someone for whom I may very well leave for a couple of reasons. When I first met him I was very brutal about the fact that he should have a job and earn his own money, etc. However, I was also quite mean about it. Just yesterday I told him exactly how I felt and why and what I think of things he should be doing. But I said it without anger or malice or a desire to even MAKE him change. If anything, I was MORE honest than before. He heard everything exactly as a feel and think it but I did it in a plain spoken way that did not lash out with anger and fury. Honesty does trump BS and lies though and sometimes it pays to be firm and speak your mind. That does not mean you get a ticket to stomp your feet, get in a person s face and cuss like a sailor at another person. Honesty is still important though. Both people involved should be mature enough 1) to give honest replies with maturity and respect and 2) be able to receive such honest replies without defensive immaturity.

Kids can be so cruel. I don't know if your'e christian, but I am and am loving it. God is a wonderful thing to have in ones life and if you ask him to be with you, he will come and help you and guide you through life. Try it. It can't hurt. On the other hand, if you think thats a boat load of ****, then here are a couple of comebacks... "You wish." "Look in the mirror." "Drop dead" "Thank you. I didn't know that." (Say it brightly and cheerfuly) "Go throw yourself over a cliff and into a vat of pig fat" "I don't know what your problem is. I bet it's hard to pronounce." "I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid." "I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter" "Your teeth are brighter than you are" "Where do you live? Underneath a rock?" "All the taste you have buddy, is in your tounge. Do you even know what that means?" "I'd insult you, but you're not bright enough to notice." "Too many freaks, not enough circuses" "drop dead." "thank you. that's so nice to know." (Say it brightly and like you really care) "I bet if I If kicked you in the heart, I'd break my toe" "go throw yourself over a cliff and into a vat of pig fat." "All the taste you got buddy, is in your tounge. You do know what that means don't you?" "
Two reasons really. The first is that some people are subhuman. Their humanity, at least as most mentally healthy people would define it, has been stunted either by inherited genetic predisposition or learned behavior due to socio environmental factors (upbringing). These people are often cruel to any creature, not just cats.The second reason is because of a cat's nature. Cat's cannot easily be dominated. They are not pack animals and are not naturally subordinate to a someone who desires to be the pack leader. Consequently, cats do not readily comply as a dog often will. This non-compliant behavior is seen as a threat to some people who react in anger because the cat cannot be cowed.The penalties for cruelty to animals, even non-companion animals, should be increased and strictly applied. Additionally, those who commit such acts should be outed and ostracized by any and all means. Another method of increasing humanity's humanity is selective breeding. People who engage in such behavior should be prohibited from reproducing. We have spent centuries in dumbing down the species. It is about time that we start breeding out those characteristics that make us act the way we do.
Can love be so cruel ?Love between two wa so deep, that they become soul of each other. A Kind of love where, there is no misunderstanding, if occurs they come over it as soon as possible and find a solution together. Kind or love where there is no drama, just loving each other, helping each other, working together for there dream, and almost every thing except Sex, as they persuade each other to do it after getting married. A fair love that each girl wants. And the boy was giving such kind of love. Gift for a girl by god. Everything was going perfeclty, but how long it can say? Can life be so easy? NO. One has to go through Hell and has to win.A STORM come in their life, girl's sister was strictly against their love she gave her a Brainwash that she shouldn't go for love marriage, boys always cheat, they just want sex. She tell her sister that she never had sex before, but her sister still against them, she said ' love marriage is not good for our family relation' and many things. That talk stucked in girls mind and she take her own decision to leave him. It was the peak time of their love and their career. AND now girl didn't want take a single step for boy, she is not going to ask her parents for the boy now. But boy still loves her, he is trying to keep her. But girl made her hard decision. she want that boy who loves her deeply, who keep her safe all the time, from everyone and from Everything. Many year of love is going to break NOW. A Relationship where there is no sex just they love each other, it's a gift from God Noa a days. A boy with great loyalty, anyone can fall easily But loose touch for him. How she can turn off her feelings so easily? can't she ask once to her parents for him? I wish she may thought about the guy once. How he will survive now in a loneliness? IN the end it all end up with guilt and dissappointment.**IF YOU DARE TO LOVE, PLEASE DARE TO FIGHT FOR YOU LOVE.**
Why are people so cruel to animals?
Ok in response to the Peta freak above me, this is now a debate amongst morality in society. One, Morality can be summarized in 2 words: anti-evolution. Human society embraces morality because it has to, its not like people are given a choice. For example: When you were a kid, did your parents have to tell you what is right or wrong because its for your own good? Well is it really? Well the real historical reason why current morality was invented was during the end of the Ice age about 10000 years ago. The large animals whom hunters and gatherers who once lived off of has become extinct and humans were forced unto biological despair until the invention of agriculture and horticulture was invented. However it doesn't take a dominating skill to farm, anyone can pick up a tool and start living. For the sake of time, eventually large communities for farmers formed which is what we call civilization. In civilized war, it didn't matter strong your men were, it mattered about the quantity of your men and whether you had enough resources to sustain that number of men. Logically, the more men you have, the more resources and the higher carrying capacity you had to sustain a large army. Consequently, civilization was under pressure to adopt a social change called "morality" which main functions are along the line of: 1.Live Long so you will work long 2.Co-exist with as much people as possible 3. Obey authority (obviously) To Sum things up for you, people take advantage of animals because they can and there is no such thing as a moral evolution where people adapt to morality. Basically what my buddy above me is saying is that people abuse animals because nobody is there to govern them (obviously us humans cant think for ourselves, must give up money to fund authority who can teach us what we cant do).
Why are some people so cruel to animals?
Unfortunately, no. There are too many people who act heartless and treat their pets as rubbish, either to make fun of them or just to show others' how much power and control they have over those poor animals. Even more people, especially nowadays, have probably forgotten that animals have rights, that they are living things and should be treated nicely. I have one cat and a dog. I love both of them so so much, I give them all of my love and do my best to take care of them and never hurt them, even if sometimes they make me angry (for example, my cat bites me sometimes while I caress her). We should understand that animals do not know whether they make the right thing or the wrong thing.They are just instinct-motivated. That guy should really stop beating his dog.If he treats it this way, why the heck did he decide to have a pet ? Just to make it suffer in pain ? Some people just worth to be punished.
Why do some people say you have to be cruel to be kind?
That can deal with either "tough love" or, frankly, just telling someone the truth. Tough love can be found if, say, parents have a 19-year-old still living at home who won't get a job or go to school. The worst thing they could do would be to let him/her continue just living there, so they'll kick them out of the proverbial nest so that they have to fend for themselves -- it's a kindness because it ends up helping the youth get their act together. As for the other option [truth], if you have someone who's "delicate" and asks you for your opinion about something they're doing [something that's detrimental to them], and you know that an easier untrue answer would mean they would continue doing the thing in question, it's in their best interests to tell them the blunt truth -- it will hurt their delicate little feelings at first, but be the best thing for them to hear/learn. I can understand your confusion -- it IS kind of an obtuse saying. But rest assured, it doesn't mean to be intentionally cruel to someone, nor take pleasure in it at first being unpleasant for them. It's all about ultimately doing the right thing for someone, even if it will take them awhile to realize it was for their own good.
Why is life so cruel to some people and so kind for some? Why life is not fair with everyone?There's no big plan behind life. Life is just what happens. Luck and circumstances can conspire to make what happens quite pleasant or pure misery. You likely have some capacity to modify your circumstances and some capacity to frame your circumstances in ways that make them more acceptable to you. Justice, fairness, and the like are human constructs. They're terms we use to describe what happens. And they're ideals some of us work toward to influence what happens in what we take to be a positive direction. But they don't exist outside of human thoughts and action. They are not a part of the world in the same way that trees and rocks are. So, while "life is cruel" is a poetic way of summing this up, it ultimately doesn't help you much, unless saying it helps you accept that life is, in fact, neither cruel nor kind. Life is just what happens to you. It's not actually out to get you, nor is out to help you. It just is. Looking for some teleology behind it is likely to cause you pain.
Why would people do something this cruel?
I've been trying to meet new people and socialise a lot more. I was underweight for about 1.5 years and in that time I developed severe OCD and pretty much isolated myself from society and stopped socialising all that much. So I've been making the effort to try hang out with people and be friendly. (Specifically going to watch a group of people play dodgeball). I've been trying to hint that i'd love to hang out with them like go to the beach, watch movies, hang out, club...but nothing. THe first time I asked today on facebook they completely ignored me. I feel like utter ****. I'm depressed and sad becuase I've done nothing but be friendly and nice to these people but they are purposely going out of their way to ignore me. I'm 21 years old (as their ages are) and this is high school behaviour. I'm trying to be a better person, trying to stop limiting myself to people who I hang out with and trying to be all round friendly, yet they hate me. WHY? WHYWHYWHY?? Also, I am fairly attractive, I even get attention from the guys in the group but still zip. In fact if I didn't go out of my way to watch them play dodgeball (which I've suggested I can play for them as a sub sometimes and still they just ignore it and ask soemone else to sub that DOESN'T watch every week) I would NEVER see them ever. I'm not a freak of nature (I'm reasonably attractive) , I'm not a ***** so why are they being so cruel?
It’s both, because there are lots of reasons for both types of reaction. Some people enjoy gory horror movies because they’re sadists, sure, but I suspect that’s not very common ultimately. For most people it’s an instinctive stimulation-seeking behavior. We evolved in a dangerous environment in which death constantly stalked us. Predators, diseases, and accidents abounded. People were on high alert most of the time. Our dull, safe modern lives leave our brains understimulated. This means people tend to seek stimulation. Horror movies, which trigger those primal anxieties, are one way to safely do so without exposing oneself to real danger. This is a far more common motivation than sadism.
