You know, I am  amazed at the lengths people will go to to make each other's lives miserable. 

Is that all they do?  Spend their every waking hour thinking of new ways to be mean to someone else?  Plan to the letter what they will do and what they will say to hurt someone else? 

How do people like that live with themsleves?  And, more to the point, why do they do it?  Are there feelings of inadequacy that they feel they have to overcome by being vindictive?  Or have they not quite grown out of the teenage bullying phase of their lives?  Perhaps they do it because it makes them feel powerful? 

I see it a lot...in real life, on the internet, on TV, in the newspapers....people whose sole purpose in life is to hurt everyone around them.

I simply don't understand it.

people who are smart don't go around bragging to everyone that they're smart


I don't consider it bragging, just stating a fact.

Yes, but you don't constantly tell everyone "I'm smart.  I'm smarter than you".  People who do that seem to be trying to not only convince us, but themselves too.....

My girlfriend and I were just talking about that the other day. She calls from the UK and we chat for three hours! Anyhows, she was telling me that her fiance got fired from his job and it's a long story but we both said thank God because of the type of people he worked with. He works for a construction company and he was a hard worker and they were very abusive to him in every which way possible. Because he needed the job and he wasn't a quitter he hanged in there. To make a long explanation even shorter, the gist of it was, he was fired without pay or any kind of severance. They're the rough neck kinds that if you go to the law and complain or try to fight them legally you get your leg broken (it happened to someone else). I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I mean, do we live in the year 2004 or what?! These kind of people are out there who make your life miserable and they get away with it because they have money and can do whatever they want. And she's a fighter in that she would have seen it through to the end but it's just not worth the aggravation. So I said to her, as did everyone else knowing the kind of stress they have been under, good riddance to them and one day they'll mess with the wrong people who will give them their come uppance - or exactly what they deserve! Sometimes it's hard to turn the other cheek, but there are times when that's the best thing to do. There's a God out there and there is justice in this world. You know what's even more whacked? When the person who makes your life miserable and want to see you fail is your own family. Now, that's totally messed up and another long story!
