“Cruelty is cheap, easy, and rampant. It’s also chicken shit. Especially when you attack and criticize anonymously. Most of the cruelty in the world comes from people who are miserable with themselves.”
— Brene Brown

Simplified Meaning:
Being mean to others is something that many people can do without much effort. It's an easy choice and happens often, especially when the person being cruel can hide their identity. For example, online bullies often say hurtful things without revealing who they are. This behavior is cowardly because the person being cruel doesn't have to face any consequences. Most of the time, people who are mean are actually unhappy with their own lives. If someone feels bad about themselves, they might try to make others feel bad too, thinking that it will make them feel better. Instead of being cruel, focusing on improving one's own life and happiness can lead to a more positive impact on others.
