    Why do you hurt others? Only someone who hurts people would have the unmitigated Gall to post such a question.

    When you point you finger remember there's 4 more pointing back at you.

    If you will quit hurting people with your jealousy and wanting everything your way, there would be a great improvement in the world.

    The only reason why people would hurt others is because of their own insecurities. In order to feel better about themselves they hurt others as an outlet. Otherwise people would have no reason to...I also think it's human nature to be jealous of others and/or cynical about life.

    Well, I believe that it is our sinful nature that gets in the way of relationships. Pride, and selfishness play a big role in sin and when our pride is ruined it causes us to defend ourself so our ego is not destroyed.

    People hurt one another because of anger and anger is usually a way of expressing feeling of resentment and other emotions such as hurt. It is like a defense against showing others that we are hurting becuase if we show that we are hurting our pride and ego is usually ruined and anger is the easiest way to exress it.

    People hurt others because they are so miserable that they have to hurt others to make themselves feel better. By the way...it doesn't work. They will always be miserable until they find out why and work on fixing it. That is something they have to do for themselves. Don't for a second think you can fix them.

    1.They have been hurt themselves and are just having some payback

    2. Mean spirited and just want to mess with people.

    3.Don't have a clue they are hurting others.

    4.Selfish, just plain selfish and unable to look outside of their own person.

    i guess it really depends on what they are after when it comes to hurting people. its not fun or nice. thats why theres a lil thing called karma.

    Sometimes it's accidental...most of the time it's out of selfishness and / or jealousy.

    It involves a either a lack of consideration for others ....or a misunderstanding...or they might feel hurt, too...
