Malice is an intention or a desire to inflict harm such as injury, death, or any form of damage to another person. It stems from deep feelings of meanness and hatred from one person to another.

A lot of times, a desire to hurt someone is as a result of anger, jealousy or envy towards them. Other times people intentionally hurt others to show that they are powerful, in-charge, and to punish them. In addition, pain and anguish from past negative experiences can push someone into malice.


Malicious individuals can be very dangerous, toxic, and very problematic to deal with. Be it in a relationship, in the workplace, and other places, malicious people exist. The best way to deal with anyone who is malicious is to stay away from them as soon as you notice them.
