Well said, young one, as I have wondered the same thing in my 81 years of life and have come to the conclusion that some folks are not mentally well and have a cognitive deficiency that affects their perception of things that cause them to be hateful and harmful. I truly believe that they are in the minority and yet many are deceived by their wrongheaded thinking . You were taught correctly about treating others the way we wish to be treated ourselves with kindness and empathy so, keep being the good person you know in your heart you were meant to be.
