Why do hateful people succeed?

[Hellis]

They make me want to kill myself. Fuck, man.

 

[unluckysadness]

My theory is : they are maybe helped by devilish energies. Or (more probably), they are psychopaths (as mental illness). I read that 4% of the population are psychopaths. It's only my personal hypothesis.

In this world, only evil people succeed in every field and lead great lives, while good people often end up badly. Besides my chronic pain and depression this is one more reason why I want to leave this world. Who would wanna live in such evil world like this one anyway.

This is a good point. Evil world made for evil people, it's like it was designed for them.

I'm guessing because they are more ruthless and have less conscience about crushing others in order to climb.

 

[ABadPerson]

I just assume it's up to numerous other factors that come with it, like being less reluctant on dabbling in more immoral but profitable practices and more willingness to work harder even if it means bringing others down.

But also, it's not as though most hateful people succeed or that many who succeed are bad people, I also realise that majority including myself simply don't do anywhere near the amount of things these people done when given the opportunity, and that opportunity in itself up to god knows what, luck? Fate?

An issue with existence in general is that nobody is given equal chances, some people are just able to get the opportunity that others don't and most of the time you need a more loose moral standing to fully utilise that opportunity anyways.

Finally someone that understands me. If you are an evil person you will succeed in this life because, you will have no problem to trample the good people to get to your goals, be it either a good job or a good business opportunity. If you are good person who doesn't want to trample upon anyone to achieve his goals, you will get nowhere. You wont achieve your goals and you will live a life in poverty and sadness, and probably a poor health too.

Because of the unfortunate ancient saying, "Life isn't fair."

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

yes . but they will all die as well. in the meantime i will surpass all when i go into non-existence forever.i won't be able to suffer if i don't exist the best state . any alive being can suffer . so non-existence is the better state .i will be in a better state than all.

Going by pure logic, evil is just pragmatic, morals are literally limits, borders, obstacles. A person willing to do anything that it takes no matter what it's way more likely to find success.

I'm pretty sure there is some correlation beewten CEOS and some level of anti social personality disorders.

 

[penguinl0v3s]

Being nice isn't enough for good things to happen to you. There's a lot of other factors like being smart or beautiful or rich. Or really just being nice at the right times to the right people (while being an asshole in your personal life).

 

[Markisloggingout]

Because humans are fundamentally wretched creatures

 

[Greasyhair]

Like what other said pragmatism, but there is also biological factor to it. Bullying, etc is viewed as being strong which is sexually attractive to women, and seems admirable to men.

I remember reading paper about how bullies enjoyed higher self esteem, social group status and work place performance.

 

[X-sanguinate86]

For many people there are certain kinds of hatred that become a major form of motivation. It gets them places and most people don't see it so they can even pass themselves off as good people or sometimes even as victims.

 

[Off_Switch]

Because they realize that there is no law of the universe that says they shouldn't.

 

[RimeOfTheAncient]

Evil world built by Evil people for more Evil people is a good way to put it.

 

[sevennn]

because we let them

 

[unevencompromise]

The modern society and it's lack of empathy will make any atrocious/futile persln famous as long as they get something in return.

The moment you do not steal candy from a baby, you leave it for the person that will.
Success has several definitions.
Kindness and integrity is one.
The size of your hourd is another.
