I'm trying to understand why people are mean to nice people...I know that at times they can be depressed.but does it make them feel better? Are their people out there that are mean...and then at the end of the day go home and don't even think about it? I just think it's easier and is more logical to be nice to others...I don't know just wanted differnt views on it.

To Boohiss...I am not a little girl....nd I am not nieve! I'm aware of the things that go on around me and act on them...being vegan for example. But I have yet to understand the thinking behind some peoples actions....can it be linked to genetics...how they were raised....just wanted input. I'm guessing Boohiss is one of those mean people...

I agree, it is easier to be nice to others. I think some people are mean because it is easier to look at others faults than to look in the mirror and look at ones own. It is often easier to blame others for what is wrong in ones life. I am guilty of this myself, of course and have and will continue to work on this throughout life. I have not necessarily been mean to people or at least not on purpose but once I sat back and thought about it or later in life as I remembered or experienced something I would think about that person and wonder if I had a negative impact or hurt them in some way emotionally just as others have done to me so now I make a conscious effort to try not to. I do believe however that some people are just down right mean because I have met some and they will admit to it and they do not care or at least claim not to but I don't think it makes them feel better perhaps it gives them the "perception" of power or control.

There are lots of people who are so concerned with themselves that they don't care if others see them as mean. Why? Because they only see themselves as real. They are the type that will hurt others just so they feel good. All I can say is even people like this are "The face of God". We don't have to love them, but understand they too have gods love.

I think people are mean because they don't realize things can be universally beneficial. They believe that in order to gain something it must be taken from another. People that are mean have the mentality of animals - big fish eats small fish/predator vs pray etc.

there are a lot of reasons why some people are mean to others. things like;
low self esteem
snobbery
the feeling that the world owes you something
and of course there are people who are just plain mean period.

People are mean because they put their own needs before everyone else's, and they are afraid of the consequence of doing the other way round. ))
