Answer 2

This question is way too complicated to answer here, but basically what is comes down to is our tendency to seperate ourselves into opposing groups. This leads to us looking at other groups of people as bad, evil, and often less than human. Our tendency to de-humanize people can be applied to individuals as well, and if someone is less than human, that justifies all kinds of horrible treatment in some people's minds. Often, just being told do hurt someone is enough to make a person do it. It seems that all humans have a very dark side that can be brought about by certain circumstances. If you really want to know about this, I would suggest reading the books below, as it's difficult to explain in one paragraph. There have also been a few studies on this with very disturbing results, check out the links below.

Because someone needs to kill them and that someone should be global warming. Which means global warming will end earth. How? Well if humans keep pollution in the world that leads to GREENHOUSE GASES which gets in the atmosphere trapping in more heat causing global warming (Which is why there are more water related natural disasters in the recent times) melting the north pole and cause more unusual heat waves in the summer and warmer winters in conclusion humans are cruel because they have psychological problems which could come from enviroment, atmosphere (theme of the area they are around) biological and finally what they have experienced and been through earlier in their lives so dont blame them blame what they are around.

Answer 4

It's because humans like to be the most powerful that there can be.

We took over the earth, we kill animals, we use up the environment, we kill other groups of people for really stupid reasons, we hate other people for really stupid reasons all so we can feel more powerful and better about ourselves.

It, in fact, shows weakness to pick on someone who is weaker than you. It's a part of life is you hunt for your food. It's not a part of your life if you drive to the grocery store and live in a building which is human made. In fact, because of those amenities, people SHOULD theoretically be nicer to each other since they have the time to sit down and realize that at the heart of it all, people are just people - no more, no less.

As for people who commit huge atrocities (genocide, for example), it's all about power. Power power power. Everyone wants power.

Answer 5

Brcause we feel that we are 100% insecure in the world. And if you want peace then stop being cruel to anybody. Start with yourself then this will automatically prevails to all. Ultimately, level of insecurity level will drop and target should be 10%. Beacause we do need some sense of insecurity to keep us away from carelessness.

Answer 6

Most people are dumb, and can't walk away from cruelty and simply habituate themselves to it. That's why the society still exists. It's hard to teach humans to be non-cruel because humans are primates after all, and who is to say that the way humans and the human society are, these days, is how it is supposed to be.

Answer 7

that is an age old question to ponder... never knew why others feel the the need to to inflict harm, pain, or suffering on any one...what does it profit someone to do such a thing?? I can only tell you what my mother mother once told me about someone who made fun of me... usualy when someone is doing evil to somene else it is because they don't realy feel too good about themselves.. they aren't secure people in their own skin so they make fun of others to get noticed and that's the only way they think they are important......well isn't that just a pity .to be that screwed up..I'D RATHER HAVE LOVE IN MY HEART FOR OTHERS AND DO GOOD TO OTHERS ...THAN HARM WOULDN'T YOU??

Answer 8

Ah... the age-old question.

Unfortunately, it's because people are people. Humans, whether people like to believe it or not, knowing good and evil, have a tendency to be tempted towards evil.

(Don't believe me? Consider the following:
If I tell you not to touch your nose, what's the first thing you think of doing?)

Also, I notice we like to generalize. Rather than considering and treating people as individuals, we have a tendency to categorize everyone into some category and expect the same from that people type at first, regardless of whether it is true or not.
i.e. teenagers = emotional drama kings/queens

There is still hope. When people encounter and meet real perfect love (unconditional and responsible, not the romantic kind)and get comfortable with it, they find it easy to give it away.

I feel your pain. Here's hoping that more people will learn to spread REAL Love, God's love, Christ's love.

our true inner being is sinful ..... as taught from the Scriptures .... jealousy, envy, feeling of empowerment from the weakness of others, etc - seeming forgotten that these things in our lives are all things that will be accounted for if not made right with God

but since Adam and Eve man has been quick to forget our blessings ..... there has always been some struggle to outdo the other

then you have others you think just cos they want something - it is right to take it from whomever in whatever form

the world is becoming more and more coldhearted ..... the more there are those who wish to remove items and forms of belief from all systems of life - the only thing that removes after the removal of God - is evil

may God continue to have mercy on our nation and its people!

Wake up America!!!!

Answer 10
