Trying to understand spite

Posted by Sarah T. on April 28, 2005, at 3:08:19

I'm uncertain whether I'm posting this question on the correct board. I have a relative who is the personification of spite. I try to have as little to do with this person as possible, but I have started wondering about the origins of spite. Have any of you ever read anything about what causes some people to become spiteful? The spiteful people I've known seem to remain that way their entire lives, and the malice permeates their whole being. Any thoughts?
