The worst cruelty is obviously world wide...but when it starts within a family that apparently should love and cherish each other...well the rest of the world has no chance of peace.
Tickling is the cruelest thing one person can do to another.
Sorry if I am sounding stupid, but real cruelty really upsets me and I want to live in a nice warm cuddly world where evil doesn't exist.......
Its nice to live in a fantasy world...but sometimes you have to face the real world no matter how ugly it gets in order to help people...even if on a small scale.
When considering that Humans are supposed to be intelligent - then that streak that causes them to hurt others, for no reason other than self gratification..... well, to my mind that is realy evil.

Zarah - I've seen people dying on the streets, dead on the streets and even people walking over dead and dying people as if they didn't exist.
I've been caught up in riots as a little child and seen people starving to death and dying from horrible diseases. I felt guilty to be healthy and clothed and fed as a kid just because of an accident of birth.
I feel terribly for people who suffer through no fault of their own. I can't bear to think about it; all I do is the best for the people I know.
Jesus said 'Love thy neighbour as thyself' - I can't bring myself to worry about people who are NOT my neighbours, but I DO think it's a collective responsibility at a higher level -
Towns should look after neighbouring towns, countries should look after neighbouring countries and planets should look after neighbouring planets - in managerial cybernetics terminology it's all about 'levels of recursivity' and my body is even made up of lots of nice cells that look after each other - or die!

I work with people who have been abused . The worst cruelty was done by people who were supposed to care and protect them, their mothers. You can't get more crueler than that
Hugz_n_Kissez: I would tell her only if I saw that somehow it was effecting her and I needed to get her help at some point at an age she could understand....she would need to know why she felt the way she did and better to give the real reason than to have her think there is something wrong with her!!!!!!!! Otherwise...NO....I wouldn't....I wouldn't want to give her something she can't remember to be uspet about her whole life not to mention all the other emotions etc that go with it!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, thats what i was thinking as well. I could never tell her at a young age that that had happened to her. Maybe past 16, but no matter what I'd tell her as an adult...

"Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine? To me-it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out. You'd have nothing then but your voice-your voice and your thought. You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerablewords, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth. And you'd see living eyes watching you and you'd know that the thing can't hear you, that it can't be reached,not reached, not in any way, yet it's breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of its own. That's horror. Well, that's what's hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of its own."

Seen it in the Eyes of "Men" before. Seen it in the eyes of the "Animal" that shot me.

Oh, I had no idea you had met my husbands, No`s 1 & 3.....!
I think biological warfare is the most cruel! Physical torment is bad, but nothing scares me more than something attacking me from the inside and not knowing what it is or whether or not I'm gonna win the fight or if I'm gonna suffer a slow and painfull death...
