Choose nice

People are so interesting. The varying levels of expressiveness, the varying levels of kindness, the varying levels of douchebaggery...

It is so easy to be kind. It really is the most natural thing for a person to do. Even the bitchiest people I know are, when caught off guard, inherently kind. It's only when the time is given to think about a reaction that these people turn bitchy. When given the choice, they choose mean. Geez. What an exhausting way to live your life. You've seen this on the train: bumped from behind they give a naturally polite "excuse me;" stepping off the train, they harshly shoulder the people waiting to get in. That's just hurtful.

I hope I am able to catch myself when I choose to be mean. We are all guilty of making the mean choice; I think that it's what you do when you realize this that allows you to become the fully good person you want to be. And the world wants you to be.

Choose nice.
