If there's one thing I really don't understand in this world, it's why people would want to intentionally hurt someone.

I know I'm not the most sensitive of souls, and the things I say rub people the wrong way sometimes but it's not like my point of saying something, the deliberate action or my conscious decision to do something is intended to serve no other purpose but hurt.

Isn't it like common sense, basic human nature to not want to cause someone to be unhappy? I'm not talking about unintentional cases where in order to make one happy, someone else has to be hurt no I don't mean that. I mean things that are meant for the sole purpose of hurting someone, and nothing else.

Are these people like, mentally disturbed or something? Or do they thrive on the misery of others, that seeing people ground down makes them happy? Which normal, sane, human being does nothing but plot someone else's unhappiness??! And why does seeing someone unhappy make you happy?! And through vindictive, immature means, no less. I don't understand why people would think that way, how their mind works and how that makes sense to them. And I'm actually quite curious as to how it makes perfect sense to them (like you know oh I don't like you so I purposely do stupid shit to make you unhappy and ta daaaaa omg I'm insanely happy! Yay!) when to me, it's completely imbecile, childish and stupid, and I'm really not even bitching about this anymore, I'm just confused and I want to know why.

I don't understand!!! It's an idea that's completely unfathomable to me. Help, someone??!
