People are so cruel?
-
How come..
-
Because thats life?Sorry thats the only real answer i can give without knowing the situation in which the people were cruel.
-
it's alright. it was a stupid question.
-
Its not stupid, it just sounds like someone did something to you or someone close that was cruel and you need to vent or talk about it?
-
eh... I don't want to burden this board with anything like that. And I'm kind of scared to anyway because I keep thinking everyone thinks this way... I don't know...back to watching Lord of the Rings
-
I dont think your burdening anyone. If you really have something to talk about you should. Thats what the site is for. IF you dont want to for your own personal reasons thats fine, but dont not talk because you think your being a burden.Everyone is here to help, dont be afraid to talk.
-
I understand. It's just complicated. I'm afraid to tell you guys because you've probably never even thought about it and my telling you would then make you think about it and it wouldn't be a good thought.that made like no sense.
-
Hmm now you have me very interested. If you dont want to post it in the board, could you atleast PM me? Whatever you have to say sounds pretty interesting!

Not at MMA---JapanFan - We're here because we want to be. If you need help in something we'll do the best we can. That's why we're here.If you feel burdened with something don't be afraid to share. If you don't want to post for other reasons fine but don't not post because you think you'll bother us.

edit: errr I sound retarded nevermind.

Many of my sleepless nights are because of this issue. I am frequently disturbed and deeply saddened by the capacity that humans have for cruelty, even unkindness or lack of basic civility. I often feel as if I am the weird one for being so troubled by it. Don't know if this relates to your sadness at all, but there are those of us who are extremely troubled by the suffering of others.
-
Because some people just are.
The ability of people to do horiffic and crule things to other people, animals and the envoronment never ceases to discust me.
Like the time someone explained to me what hung drawn and quartered was. Humans are sick.
-
While human kind does have the capacity for great sickness, don't let it get to you to much. Keep in mind that human kind also has the capacity for great altruism... even at our own peril in the face of depraved evil.I think that's rather uplifting.
-
Kinda like Greek mythology in that, they believed everything was even in the end. So, for every horrible, despicable mass-murderer. There's also volunteer workers, and teachers, and the guy who helps you pick up your papers when you drop them, or dontes his fortune to a charity, etc etc.
-
what do you think fuels the rage and anger behind what they say and do?
-
I think it is a sense of powerlessness. Most awful people, don't feel like they have control, so they try to take it where they can.
There are lots of other reasons that they may feel powerless, but that I think that is the bottom line...
-
I think people do awful things for many different reasons. One I think is a reason is because they were hurt somewhere along in their lives. But when people do unspeakable things, well, who knows? The world isn't perfect.It shouldn't even matter what cruel things people do to you. It's how you carry yourself after and on.

Still power, they are trying to gain some power over a situation they didn't have control over.
And the second part of what you said...Now that is true power baby!

What if you're not emotionally and mentally strong as you thought you were to prevent the cruelty of others from getting to you?

Well, what else can you do? The last thing you want to do is let them hurt you over and over. So, the only thing to do is move on forward.It's not easy. But with time and self-realization, you can get through anything.
