Why bully?

So, it's been a few days since I've been on here - time does fly.  I am curious and please feel free to comment; why do people bully? What is the bullier getting out of it?  It also seems that there is a lack of empathy, because certainly one who has the ability to be empathetic would not resort to bullying.  I suppose my next question is can empathy be taught? Lastly, is bullying a self esteem issue? It is understood that the one being bullied is having their self esteem mutilated daily, but what about the self esteem of the bullier? Has their self esteem been torn down that in order to feel better they have to tear another down?
I am interested in hearing the thoughts of others, so please feel free to leave comments.
