Think about spirit and being mean-spirited. What does that mean anyway? How can your soul be mean?

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

    I don't know the details but maybe somehow along the way from the soul, whether the soul be mean-spirited or not, words and actions are distracted from a person's soul and it all comes out mean.
    I'm in no way the world's nicest person but there are some people I tend to be very wary of --  I don't trust them nor do I find them nice. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at May 22, 2018 1:33 AM MDT

    I think spirit has two meanings.  One is the spiritual spirit which has to do with unearthly beings.  The other is more earthly as in "the spirit" or intent of an action.  If something is done in a mean-spirited way, the intention is to do harm.

    A mean spirited person enjoys watching others suffer......For some reason it makes them feel better about them selves..
    My grandparents and parents were all excellent teachers at passing on their wisdom.....:)

    You are using words of uncertain meanings, so your question does not suggest any particular answer.
