Answer 4

You're asking a secondary question.  You need to define cruel.  What is cruel to you might not be cruel to others.  

Keep in mind that people act out of self interest more often than out of ethics...you and I, and everyone else.  If their self interest requires them to behave in a way that you define as cruel, then so be it.

Everyone and every thing has to exist for a reason

well because of that stupid devil. But there so jealous of all good people. I found that if your nice to them it annoys them more, than being mean. So when you see a some one that has been cruel to you. Smile and say hi. Than go on and talk to your friends. It will get them more furious, but you be nice.

Answer 9

Cruelty is often the result of fear of some kind. A cruel leader fears lack of control or respect, for example. A soldier may be cruel because he fears the consequences if people think he's weak or disobedient.

maybe because they are depressed n want others to be like them too..
