Could you help me correct my English?

-Sometimes you do not want to offend /hurt other people, and you just want to be a hermit, secluding yourself in a small corner, and paying no regard to the storm outside the tranquil life you are living/leading. However, some people are aggressive/extorting, which nature in their character(s) drive them to deprive/exploit others of their in-born rights and freedoms. They then become vengeful. Giving up revenge would occasion indignance; harbouring retaliation intentions would vitiate/weaken/shrink/impoverish attention that could be/could have been employed to seek/elicit happiness. This dilemma brings human beings agony(-ies) and anguish(es).

A few suggestions....


I'd choose "offend", but "hurt" works as well.
Either "are living" or "lead", in my opinion.
... are aggressive and their character drives them to exploit others...
... harbouring the desire for retaliation diverts attention that could have been ...
seek
This dilemma produces agony and anguish.
