A pattern of behaviour that some humans follow.
What you think is naturally mean can be nothing of the sort in fact. It is a matter of perspective for one thing, so what it percieved to be mean to you may just be playful or joking to him. Mean can also be an acquired trait. It can be learnt from a role model as a child for example. Mean can have to do with stress levels. Stress reduces what it takes for a person to explode and be very mean. This person may be under-going problems in their life. Mean may be acquired, again, as a child from a traumatic, most likely abusive, childhood. Being mean, some theories put it to chemical imbalances in the brain. Mean may be a dislike for you, or the people he is mean to.

They don't. Its just that the Jewish communities in Mexico are some of the most conservative among them and as such, they exclude themselves from the rest of the population.
Answer 1According to the research I've done, the answer is yes.Answer 2Conservative Judaism on paper and Conservative Jews in reality do not always match. Most Conservative Jews, if you just casually mentioned an afterlife would smirk as if its good joke or something similar. If you pressed them, they might give you a simplistic answer such as "I'll see my parents after I die" or something to that effect. This would be "some" Afterlife, but nothing detailed. However, unlike in Christianity and Islam, the afterlife in Judaism is not that important as a reason or purpose to live your life, so Conservative Jews typically don't discuss it and most do not know what Jewish teaching actually has to say about the Afterlife and the World to Come. A minority, of course, do know the Jewish tradition in this regard and believe in it.
