Who understands human nature well?

I am wondering what a person's reason is to be greedy, selfish, rude and down right mean to other people. What do you think a person thinks to think it is fine to treat other people poorly. As a person I am kind in everyway I can think of to everyone, but I normally understand reasons behind things. In a lot of problems they point at flaws in human nature like greed, but what is the reason for it. What is the reason for sensless killing and trying to harm other human beings to get ahead in our own lives? What is the little thing in the person's conscience that takes away hope of being good towards each other?

    In the extreme it is severe mental illness, but the day-to-day lack of common courtesies, rudeness, greed, etc.,are almost always a reflection of how that person views themselves. This is many times coupled with the misery loves company theory leaving all others potential targets. The answer is so simple, it's what we all learned in kindergarten. What went wrong?

    Environments they were brought up in. People's experiences determine who or what they are.

    I think life in itself has become some sort of a game for certain people; Falling into their materialistic desires, they lose their inner lights.

    You can always trust yourself, but never trust the environment. Some people just fall too deep, and some are able to maintain a pure conscious, rational mindset.

    And I sincerely feel for those people who turn to greed, selfishness, and rudeness. It's like they have no direction in life. But forgiveness is key in every single action.

    There are more ways to be kind than many people even realise.

    There is something sweet about doing something nice for someone and they don't even know what you've done.

    Kinda like reverse manipulation, in a way.

    p.s; a person who is characteristically ill-mannered towards other people usually has a reason for it HOWEVER - no reason is good enough imo.

    a topic we run into is comparing human beings in diverse religions as if they're in effortless words the outcome of that faith for that lifetime. Christianity's teachings has the ability to deliver peace to those who stick with them extra effectively as a results of extreme concentration on forgiveness and that Jesus established it interior the most extreme way. Christianity starts with a harder nut to crack than say the Tibetans occupied by technique of the chinese.

    i know a person like that and i have to work with her at times i am extremely in barest when she gives her all to someone in front of me.i know i should reach out to her and try to understand her but i just cant bring my self to do instead i openly defend the person she is picking on and that does not resolve her behaviour only makes her worse

    she is not game to pick on me though and she told Some one else she respects me

    but i think she doesent see her behaviour as rude

    she thinks its her right to openly Cristise others

    but you made me think and i might try to understand her more

    From my experience this means the person hates themselve, so they take that out on the people around them. In a sick way it give them a boost.
