Viciousness

I feel the need to vent a frustration I've been feeling for the last three weeks or so.

How the hell can some people be so callous? With a single badly-worded statement, they can completely destroy another person. And then the Destroyer goes on, acting like nothing happened, while the Destroyed is left gasping in the dust.

A few weeks ago, I was a third-party witness to such an event. The Destroyer was pissed about other stuff, and decided to take it all out on the Destroyed. Granted, the Destroyer did have a legitimate beef with the Destroyed, but the Destroyer made the whole thing into something way more personal than it needed to be. And instead of defending herself, the Destroyed, in effect, rolled over on the ground, exposing her belly so she could have her guts ripped out. Which the Destroyer did with glee.

I can't even stand to be around the Destroyer anymore. It upsets me to even hear this person speak, because in the back of my mind, I can't help but remember the havoc she wrought. And she has managed to put it all behind her, while the Destroyed hasn't even surfaced in public since then.

Before this incident, I didn't even know the Destroyed, other than as a passing acquaintence. I had a stronger rapport with the Destroyer. But now...

How can people be so vicious?
