The facts of life are simple (without going into the psychological reasons nor mechanism) we wish others to feel what we feel (in other words, when we are happy, this is what we wish for others; this is why we see, happy people, generally Americans, Jews (people whose lives are validated and live in safety) wish for others to be happy, and in fact contribute inordinate sums of money – most charitable organizations altruistically given and managed are by Jews and Americans – while the converse is also true, when a person is suffering, they wish for others to suffer, hence we see, in societies that people are cruelly invalidated (as well as individuals, hence the phenomena of bullies) they seek to invalidate all others – the Arabs being a prime-example (suffering from being kicked out of Abraham’s home – a loss they never accepted, and it takes no genius to understand that if two thousand years later Yishmoel somehow became the son taken to the alter instead of Isaac, boy, do they have a simmering anger and anger is misery.)
