It is said, that we suck in cruelty with mother's milk. But there is another point of view: the society teaches us to be cruel. In my opinion, every person comes to this world with the inner balance of good and evil. A newborn, please your honour, has both cruelty and mercifulness, but growing up in society, a man chooses his own way of life and behaviour. So, we are what we create ourselves.

Cruelty has two sides: moral and outer. If you shout at others without any reason, miscall anybody, try to beat somebody to his or her knees or just hurt people, you are a morally cruel person. If you torment somebody irrespectively if it gives you psychic income or not, you are physically cruel.

Why do we become cruel? There are some causes. Firstly, something or somebody can irritate us for a long time, and, finally, we become cruel because of that. Secondly, we possibly have rugged life, and it makes us cruel. Thirdly, we are cruel, because it is just our avatar. Whether or no almost everyone can be cruel at least once in his life.

Think about yourselves. When we speak to a foreign or unfamiliar person, we try to show our best merits. And only agnate people know a lot about us, our good and bad sides. If I'm talking about cruelty, I realise the same situation. The closer a person is to us, the more cruel we are to him. I don't know how it works. Maybe, we think, that our relatives and friends can easily forgive us, maybe there is another interior reason.

So, we've tried to answer some questions about cruelty. We can also speak about a word-combination "insensate cruelty", but I just want you to keep in your mind one thing: don't hurt others (foreigners, friends, relatives, parents, children, even animals). The world itself is cruel... and without our "help". That's why all our acts of cruelty are needless.

To conclude I must say, that, in spite of everything, we are the most cruel to ourselves. So, love other people and be kind to yourself.
