Why do people hurt others?

In this time of invisible threat of a killer virus affecting the whole world. It never ceases to disgust me how people still feel the need to put others down.

What is that about? Is is their own personal need to feel validated on this earth or is it a need for them to control how others feel?

I’ve recently got another job at the moment, and while it is temporary and not ongoing, I feel so grateful to have it at a time where so many have lost their jobs due to the current conditions of the corona virus. Plus I’m also grateful to be able to work from home in the safety of my own home.

I haven’t been on a bus since March and even now as restrictions are being eased in Australia with being in stage two now I still don’t feel ready to get on a bus even though social distancing is still going on and guidelines for how many can be on a bus is happening.

I was reminded last week by a lady who felt the need to tell me her job is essential and she’s needed, almost implying that I’m not.

I did not respond to that but found myself feeling disgusted.

She’s the same lady who referred to my contract job last year as “a day out for me"

Now she thinks that because I don’t want anything to do with her is because she comes from Wuhan China which is where this virus started….But no that’s not the case, it’s her attitude of her need to feel inflated that deters me.
