Why are people so horrible?

Question

People are just beastly to anyone different than themselves. Why are people like this, what causes it, and how can it be solved?

fine, here's an example. gays.

Answer 1

It can never be solved. Most people are selfish, stupid, ignorant, hateful, spiteful, and miserable. There are some good in the world, but there are so many more assholes in the world that it overshadows the good people. Just be true to yourself and others to keep positivity in your life. Get rid of those that are negative and have any characteristics described above to keep your life peaceful.

Answer 2

I think the people who are like this are simply afraid of anything unfamiliar. The only way it can be "solved" is to lead an honorable, decent life and show by example that you, different though you may be, are a good person. Of course, many of the "horrible people" are too stupid to notice, but you'll make an impression on young people who aren't horrible yet.

Answer 3

Well... It really depends upon an indivisuals opinion of exactly what horrible is.

Loads of people view me as horrible, because I am honest and refuse to play into the games of society. I for one believe that being politically correct is what has destroyed humanity.

It used to be that when a person was what they were, due to nothing more than pomp or circumstance, that there was a "Live and let live." kind of unspoken law that applied and everyone was okay with the Archie Bunkers and the George Jeffersons of the day. Now, all these Prozac bottom feeders that believe so adamanty that everyone should be of the same same temperment and demenor (reguardless of the indivisuals often Immense struggle to get to that common ground "Nice") have taken control of the mindset of the population and become anti bully, and therefore, bullies themselves. Only you do it with a taciturn accusation in the opposite direction... What's the real difference?

This attitude is another way of gaining control. I equate it to a child manipulating through tears. Either way, right or wrong, you getting what you want is the only objective by any means necessary. Even becomming a kind of bully to call out another form of a bully. You my dear, are no different and are NOT the moral majority.

People get to where they are for many reasons that your average, worker bee drone canno't relate to and take life to extremes in the opposite of what they view as wrong or "Horrible."

All I can say to you is... Walk a mile in someone elses shoes to know... REALLY know what they have been through and why they may lash out at certain people over certain things.

All people are good at the core... Even the Ted Bundy's and the Jeffrey Dahmers. One man's meat is another man's poison.

"Judge not... lest ye be judged." Do you know what that means?

It does not mean what most Christians believe it to mean...

It means, What you see in another man, is what you hide best in yourself. The things that you have the most problems with in your life... are the very things that loom down right below your surfaces. Calling anyone out as horrible, means that is exactly what you feel yourself to be but took a stand against it in another direction. We are all made up of the same stuff. It is called potential, and it is interdependent upon an indivisuals life and circumstances and how they were given to learn to filter this and that and come to be what they hate, or to hate what they are in the faces and actions of others.

It is all relative darling... Think about it. Are you really that nice for saying this to begin with?

It's like when a smoker blows smoke in the face of everyone around him for years and then suddenly quits... Everyone he got to start smoking, is now the victum of his bagering for being smokers... He taught to smoke in the first place by example! What right does he have to harp on people for smoking just to make it easier on himself for making the decision to stop?

You... are more than likely that smoker! Just a weak control freak with a word that you toss around at people and ameliorate yourself and gain some sort of control through a childs tyoe of manipulation.

and I really, really hate that... Sorry if I am so very HORRIBLE!

Answer 4

It's satan's pressure on the world. Pride and selfishness. The root of all sin, IMHO.

How can it be solved? Rather than retaliate, show love to one another. The more love there is, the more people will feel loved, and the more likely they will be to show love themselves.

Know a really charismatic person? Are people jerks to him or do they really like to help him? See? He shows love so people show him love back.

By the way, this is one of the fundamentals of Christianity. It's actually what Jesus calls "the greatest commandment."

Answer 5

It's because the average person is an ignorant, greedy, self-centered prick. Humans are also, by nature, self-destructive creatures. We excel at ruining everything we touch and have a disturbing knack for finding new and creative ways to kill each other. It's just flawed human nature. As for what can be done about it? That's a tough one. If the stupid people would only stop breeding...

Answer 6

What we see in life, and around us, sometimes is a reflection of what others see in us. Are we horrible in the eyes of others, too?
Kindness begets kindness. If we are true, genuine and sincere, would those around us return the same gesture?
Of course, there are some minority few, who, out of ignorance and a sense of insecurity, will always be mean and horrible.
But do we want to make our lives miserable because of the actions of these mean-spirited people?
Remember that our lives are our own to live, and not dictated by the actions of others.

Answer 7

I dont believe its bipolar like many are pronouncing. Bipolar has highs and lows (mania and melancholy). An episode of mania or melancholy can final months, however doesnt differ inside mins or hours. Can be an imbalance prompted via hormones and/or vitamin. There are many elements to recollect with a purpose to discover out what precisely is improper. Best factor to do is talk on your health care professional and spot what he/she shows.

Answer 8

I wish you'd given an example. Do you mean people that are a different culture? nationality? different politically? religion? personality?

But I guess that people like to think that their way is superior and that if people don't feel like they do they are wrong. I think it's sad too. The more kinds of people the brighter and richer our world. I think the way it can be solved is by the way families condition their children and the value they give to their children. Truly love people and show that to your kids.

Answer 9

because that is the way they were raised by the parents coupled with the bad environment. proper discipline from being a child could make someone a better and responsible person. as the saying goes, "Bend the tree while it is young".

Answer 10

Because we don't live in an "ideal" world. This world is imperfect
as well as the dwellers upon it. Dreamland is real. reality sucks!
Now if I could just live that way, without being thrown into the
looney bin, then my life would be perfect. heehee
