Hurting others

I don't really get why so many people have to hurt other people. It's really sad. I mean why do so many people tear each other down and make people feel bad, guilty, sad, heart broken, hurt etc...?? Is that the cool thing to do? I mean I see it every where. All around you it happens. I mean look on the social media websites like facebook and twitter. You can see millions of them on there. I have been torn down many times and i have also made fun of people and put them down. I just don't get it anymore. I mean yeah I did it because i didn't know who i was or was insure with myself and I never felt good about it. Is that why most people do it? Or do people do it for enjoyment or to make them feel better about themselves. I don't know but I see it more often than not and it kills me especially when it's your friend or family that is hurting. I watched my whole family fight and heard awful things said to each other and just make them feel really down about themselves...and what was the purpose of it all? to win? What are you really winning though? All you are doing is hurting someone you love and pushing people further and further away from you and in the end you will have pushed them so far that it won't ever be the same again. Words are very powerful and can hurt a lot more than a punch. Yeah it might make you look cool or bad ass in front of people or a crowd or maybe just to yourself but really you are just making a fool of yourself and making you look really stupid. A prime example is when I saw for the past 4 or 5 years my dad and his dad saw mean and awful things to each other and fight all the time and i honestly believe that they have no idea why they are evening fighting in the first place. People don't talk or listen anymore. They just fight and hurt others and usually the ones you care about and love the most and its very.. very sad that that is usually how it works. Hurting the ones you love and care about...I just don't get it.
