is it really that hard?

over the last few weeks, i've been pummeled from all sides with
meanness... from people i know, and people i don't. and i don't get it.
sure, i've been guilty of meanness in the past. we all have. but then, most of us feel guilty, and if we have the courage, we own it.
but not everyone does.
i know it's naive to expect otherwise, that meanness happens, just like shit.
but still.
come on, people.
