I've got a question...

There's something that has been on my mind for a while...

Why are most people sadistic and why do they enjoy inflicting harm on others or seeing them damaged?

I don't can't really explain people's behavior most of the time either, but something that affect the way we treat other people is the way we are treated. If people are treated badly, people will treat others badly. It is a vicious cycle...

Because really they're deeply unhappy but can't handle the responsibility of knowing it's them and making a change. All macho on the surface and cowards within. Of course it would help if they didn't think anyone was going to be impressed by their behaviour. That's the only reason people do a lot of things. Approval from others. I wouldn't want approval from them

They're probably hurting and want to cause others harm in retaliation. If they aren't psychopathic then usually it comes from a place of flustration.
