Some people are just nasty

Yep, some people just don’t give a shit about anyone else and they lie and they cheat and they bully.  They often also suffer from very low self esteem and are averse to facts. 

They have no idea of the damage they do either, or perhaps they do but they just don’t care or get off on it. 

Recently I have been feeling very low and I am trying not to slide back into depression but its very hard going at times.  I despair of the ignorance (willful or otherwise) of so many. They don’t know what they want but they know how to hate and they do it well.
