Sympathetic eyes

    Why are some people just so cruel? Honestly I pity them, and I think sometimes that is what drives them even madder. They do cruel, and hurtful things expecting you to get upset, and mad right back at them. Sure I get upset, but I also feel sorry, because something happened in there life that drove them into doing whatever it is they did. I know personally one time someone was being just downright rude, and purposefully dropped something I had been working on, and broke it. Well I don't really know what I did, but I remember them saying "Why aren't you mad? Don't look at me with those sympathetic eyes, I cant stand those eyes". I think sometimes people just don't want to be the only ones feeling bad, or having a rough time. We all have bad times, and I'm sure we all remember the pain, or other negative emotions that came with those times, so why would you wanna pull someone else into them? Why not try, and have someone pull you up?
