Why do “we” as human beings, do mean or cruel things to other peolpe?

I believe that we as human beings sometimes do mean or cruel thing to people because we are territorial or protective of things.

Explanation:

We do such mean things to other people because,we assume to oftenly that we are higher than someone else.You know,as an old phrase once said,"You can't judge a book by it's covers".So,that's how it should be with each other.But,we're not.

Motivational note:

If you want to be non-harmful to people, be that peacemaker that everybody wants and loves.Trust me.It will pay off soon enough.Just give it time and keep hanging on in there.Keep calm,Stay strong!

Thank you for reading my answer.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
