Same reason why I judge people on the inside, and their attractiveness goes up or down depending on their personality. You get pushed away by peers for appearance long enough, you refuse to treat other people the same way b/c you know first hand the unfairness of such a judgement.

That's because you're a good person, I suspect. :) I completely agree with you on this being the lesson to take from such experiences, but I've known people who responded by looking for victims they could beat up on to feel empowered again.

Yeah, unfortunately there are some who take their anger and just redirect it at others without reflecting. They probably understand it as the normal thing to do. Unprovoked aggression is never a good thing, and is NOT a trait of survival.
