why as humans do we need to hurt one another when there is enough pain in the world?

Question

and what have you done to help heal the wounds on the souls of the world?

I am a full on hippy. I do not cause others pain for any reason, I am vegan, and I do NOT BELIEVE IN WAR FOR ANY REASON.

Answer 1

It is called the flaw of humanity. We may be the most intellectually evolved, but that in itself brings forth new problems.

We have a heightened sense of our emotions/feelings than our brothers in the animal kingdom.

As such, heightened perception of our feelings/emotions often leaves us very confused and dazed.

Which makes us thrash at anyone who gets close.

Iunno, no one is pure. I'm sure we've all killed out fairshare of people unintentionally and indirectly.

Answer 2

Is there enough pain in the world? Perhaps the people inflicting pain to others feel as though they are the center of their world and only the ones who suffer deserve to share in it with them.

Generally, we as humans are fallible beings. Reactionary, emotional, and a whole google of qualities that when mixed together, creates a society where the innocent will suffer or strike back in reaction, and the stronger act on their egos or strike out because they feel it is either their duty or privilege.

Knowing what is in the mix and educating people about each other is part of the solution. When people see each other as people and treat each other with kindness and understanding, that is when the pain subsides. Eventually we will all embrace our differences rather than reacting to them. Eventually.

Answer 3

Very good question.. I don't know the WHY, but I know there are many people like that. Maybe it makes them feel better about themselves?

Also, I think some people mistake kindness for weakness. I try to be kind to everyone, especially when people are sad or just feeling lousy.. I'm VERY glad I am that way.. but I am very strong and kindness is a HUGE strength!

Please remember there ARE people who DO want to be kind to others. Try to find those people and together we can band together to help each other!
I don't know you.. but I care about you.. and I hope this has helped JUST a little ..
Here's a big *hug* for you!!

Answer 4

I agree totally about the hurting part..as humans we should be helping each other out in any way we can..instead of hurting each other in any way we can...
the helping and love your neighbor is a much better way to go..for you, for me, and for the whole world..it is an easy thing to do, smile, and be happy ..
thank you..
Good Luck
and
God Bless

Answer 5

Often we are not intentionally hurting one another.As in emotionally hurting some one,it is often just how the person that is hurt perceives it.And even you I would guess are guilty of callousness.Now if you are only speaking of physical hurt,there is little need.Any adult should be able to either curb any violent intent they have or simply walk away.

Answer 6

Be kind to others and laugh at all the nasty people instead of getting even. I kill em with kindness.

Answer 7

Greediness is the root to all evil and you can't bring anything of when you leave this earth.
