Why do the strong always take from the week?

Why is it that the weaker you get the more people take the piss. anyone else just want to be left alone.

As the saying goes, the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must

I hate talking in absolutes... because there are strong people in the world who choose to protect and help others and don't take advantage or steal from them...

But, it's fair to say that behavior is rare... and you're more likely to be exploited by a strong person, especially if you are weak... and it's sad... It also shows you the strong person is actually "strong" and not really strong... because an actual strong person even if he is still an asshole would see taking from the weak as beneath him. A true strong person would either be kind and helpful and protecting OR would want to challenge himself by being a dick to another strong person.

It's why we don't see people as good when they take the proverbial candy from the baby.

The majority of humans are predators. People love to bully, makes them feel better about themselves. The social systems make everybody desperate, then they turn on whoever is weakest and nearest. Or they're just bullies or psychopaths to start with.
