Yes, I am...even to the ones who treat others poorly. And I admit that sometimes it takes some effort.
As for being honest with people, I state what is fact as fact and what is opinion as opinion, and I make sure to maintain compassion and mindfulness about how they might feel in response. Telling the truth doesn't have to be at the cost of caring about someone else's feelings, and doesn't have to be delivered in an inconsiderate way.
I am a prick to those who are prick to others. I hate bullying. I was bullied as a kid and I wanted someone to stick up for me. Nobody did, so I knew what isolation and loneliness felt like. So now, I fight back against people who bully others. After I beat them down, I nurse them back to health. You can call me a regular Wong Fei Hong.
some of you people that said yes are lying, as if..... there must be someone you don't like who doesn't like you that your not nice to, this is why i couldn't be a christian, too many bad people out there just pulls your strings. I am generally nice to everybody but there are exceptions for some people I don't like. being a saint to everyone doesn't mean you have to be for the ones that don't like you
You have a point...I said I try...I'm not lying..If I can't be nice I won't be anything. If they push an issue I can get pissy..but I really prefer not to!!
I sure try but like the Sister I won't kiss ass if they are not the same. Furthermore, I don't "go along to get along" so if the can't disagree without being disagreeable, like so many on SodaHead and so many currently in DC, I simply try to not engage them.
i try to be because everyone has feelings. i wont hold back on the truth if they need it, but itll only be because i care. however no one is really a loser or too lame to be treated with decency and acceptance. the only true loser is the one who pushes out such people just because they are different. people who lack morals shouldnt be shunned either but people should have a raised caution around them. but my motto when it comes to people is that "all souls and the feelings they hold are as beautiful and fragile as the thinnest glass and should be treated with the utmost care even if they are surrounded with protection because once that glass is broken the breaker may end up broken themselves". not that one should only treat one with decency because they are afraid, but because breaking one's heart could not only make them a bully but it may also be the death of them. the death of vengeance from that saddened person. thats how i look at it. :) and plus id feel horrible on the inside if i broke someones heart. all hearts are precious until they are riddled with wickedness and hatred and should be treated as such.
I'm nice to everyone who I don't know and everyone who is kind as well. The few people who don't belong in either of those groups are the ones I tend to avoid.
