PPL,
You inquired as to why an individual would be rude, mean-spirited, etc...I'm
not a psychologist but have read Freud and Jung and Fromm and my girlfriend's
a PhD in psych(and not bad-looking either!) This kind of anti-social
behavior is symptomatic of a real or perceived "shortcoming" in life that may
be as obvious as being short of stature, having a small penis, generally
dissatisfation with one's physical attributes. It may not always be physical,
but there is simply a conscious or subconscious feeling that one simply
doesn't measure up, hence the resulting compensatory mechanism. I recently
met a very successful former record distributor (pre-CD's) who is now an
ordained minister and he was telling of his former high-class life of luxury
and all the other madly driven entrepreneurs - "They were all pricks...all
with something to prove"...I could go on and on but have a sudden need to
self-reflect...
