  💬 From the Community:
  Great depiction of the cruelty that many people exhibit. I believe there's more compassionate people in this world than bad ones, but it is disturbing how many people engage in cruel, demeaning behavior just because someone doesn't fit their standards. They only develop empathy when they experience extreme hardship.
