how certain people apparently enjoy kicking others when they're down? Do you suppose it makes them feel powerful to do so? To me it seems like a very cowardly thing to do.

Or perhaps it's misdirected anger, they're actually unhappy with themselves but find it easier to take it out on others, instead of examining their own demons.

That is almost ALWAYS the reason behind it. Critical, bitter people are not happy with who they are. Until they are they cannot treat others with kindness.

I think you hit the nail on the head there, Doxiechick.
Kindness and compassion flow naturally from those who face the world with an open mind and heart. While anger and bitterness become the burden of those who choose to hide behind their self righteous cynicism.

Yes and people who are happy with themselves and radiate positive energy are often people magnets. I was not a positive spirit years ago and am now and I can see such a huge difference in how people approach me.
