"What Causes a Person to Be Intentionally Cruel?"

http://lifeasahuman.com/2011/mind-spirit/humanity/what-causes-a-person-to-be-intentionally-cruel/

All of this. But, also in my experience, there's an underlying belief that "Everyone" enjoys hurting other people. So it's a matter of hurting others before they can be allowed to hurt you first. Do it harder, do it worse, so that they can't do it to you.

I find that all very sad.
