Why are people so mean.....

It is evil indeed. For all the effort they put into destroying someone, they could have instead used that energy to better themselves or make the world around them a better place. I guess some people aren't happy unless they're miserable. People either get better or get bitter. For me, the choice is easy.

Some people have desperately wicked hearts. Many years ago someone tried to poison my mother but the plan did not succeed and she is still here many years later.

I hate it when people do that. I don't understand why people go out of their way to be vile when kindness is free and easier. Did someone sabotage you?

It is horrible but it happens all the time.

People should use their energy to better their own circumstances.

I do not like evil people or trouble makers. Share the joy and be grateful

It is very evil and such a poor waste of time and other resources.

Humans are animals and it's all about survival of the fittest. You see it everywhere. It's sad, sure, but it's reality.

Lots of those who are jealous and try to hurt others are insecure people who desperately seek attention.

Meanness partly comes from selfishness, and lack of compassion and forethought for others, and the other side of it is evil intentions, based on jealously wanting others to not have what you have, not wanting to share, and not wanting others to have opportunities, and so you act mean to try to not help them, but more hinder them, block them in their success, as you are insecure of them bettering you too. We need to move past our human nature, based on ego, and greed, and adopt a spiritual nature, based around love, kindness, and compassionate thinking, of others too.

I have faced such situations. At one workplace, I had streamlined the operations but it took one bad apple to spoil the lot! His actions reeked with envy!

@toniganzon It is very evil and very sad too. You would think the person would want to build a life for themselves but instead they are miserable and busy plotting someone else's downfall.

That kind of behavior makes me sad. There's so many people in the world who have negative thinking, and I think that negative thinking makes them say and do negative things against other people. I have known many people like this and have tried to stay as far away from them as possible (if I can). It's hard enough to stay positive in this world without having negative energy people in my life. That being said, I hope you have a wonderful day! :)

I do believe that it is us humans who make Earth heaven or hell. We can make it heaven if we care and love each other and works toward prosperity for all. Unfortunately we make it hell doing the stuff you mentioned. It took me 40 years to learn about this fact of life. I am watchign game of thrones and the battle for power and resources is as much a reality then as it is now. It happens in large scale and on the level of individuals.

I do remember a former sports entertainment star who now does self help speeches to teenagers in school saying that everyone who achieved success in their chosen field has paid a huge price to succeed. It is a shame that people do not realize that we all a talent from God to use to make the world a better place to live. The advice I learned from a minister is to keep my eyes on own paper.

I would say there indeed are someone spiteful in the world,jealous people are everywhere.I knew someone around me were like this,So i always keep humble to reduce these person's jealousy.No idea,i have to act in a humble way.Jealousy will drive people crazy sometimes, you know.Thus,we have to try our best to reduce other's jealousy.

Envy poisons a person's mind and can be very destructive.
