About This Quote
It’s easy to be mean to someone you just met. It’s even easier to be mean to someone who is new or an outsider. It’s more difficult, though, to purposely put someone down just because you feel like it. That’s what this quote is about.
People are crueler to those they don’t know than they are to those they do know. The person who doesn’t know the person being criticized has no way of knowing why that person is being treated badly. The worst part of it is that the person who makes fun of the new person often doesn’t think he or she is being mean at all.
