i know it's a bit random for first thing on a thursday, but here's a thought question for you guys for the day:
why are some people inherently mean, while others cannot find it in themselves to be mean?
my thoughts: being mean is seen to some as a means for social gain, to become accepted means to forcefully disavow friendly ties with a not-so-"popular" person or group. it takes extra energy to be mean, something humans would not necessarily put effort into for something like, let's say, making a regular weeknight dinner, exercising for an extra 10 mnutes, etc. some cannot find it in them to be mean because they simply don't care, can't afford the extra energy, or avoid situations where being mean is almost a requirement to fit in
