What I'm getting at is that someone who acts maliciously is ignorant of the value in other people and that no one is above/below anyone. Yes they may be cunning and intelligent but they're missing out on a real core truth. I'm not explaining this as clearly as I want to, sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Being hateful and malicious is stupid because it's a stupid way to live and locks you out of one of the chief joys of being alive - helping others.
