Bullies and Harrassers

Why do people go out of their way to make people feel bad? This is one thing I cannot wrap my mind around. A lot of people say that it makes the bully feel better about themselves. I guess I understand why. People who cannot climb to the top of the social ladder decide they can be on top by putting everyone else underneath them. But zero is still zero, even though it has negative one and negative two, etc. under it. What I find is that I am happier when I am nice to everyone. This way I am not put in a nasty mood and other people are [usually] nice back. So why can’t everyone else do this too?
It drives me crazy when people are rude and nasty to others just because they don’t like that person. That is no excuse! There are plenty of people that I don’t like, but I am polite and kind to them, and we get along. I barely ever get in arguments with people that I have no choice but to be around. But isn’t that what we should all do? Why be nasty when you have to spend all this time with them? It won’t change the fact that you have to be around them. It won’t make that person change into someone more likable to you. It is a waste of energy to go around being mean to people just because you don’t like them. Personally, I would find it exhausting to do that!
What is it people get about making another person miserable. Being treated poorly or having a bad life at home is no excuse to go out and hurt people. It won’t solve your problems and it won’t improve them either. Maybe people could take that energy that they put into being mean and use it to work on whatever is bothering them.
