There are definitely those who choose to be mean : narcissist. It's their life's goal to ruin someone's day every day. There are also those who are just miserable. They chose to let in jealousy and hate and it bleeds into everything they do. Then there are those who are just cranky. Maybe they don't feel well. I had a boss like this. She had lupus and whenever she was on her meds, steroids, she was extremely rude. She would always apologize later but it was horrible. Needless to say, that job was short-lived. I just pray and ask God how to see that person and not take it personally. Sometimes meanness is a good indicator to stay away and like the person above me states pray for these people. Interesting topic even if it is old and to see others and their interpretations
