Being nice to others all the time can lead you to heartbreak and betrayal when the person or people you are giving the consideration of being a friend decides to harm you when you are exposing your vulnerabilities to them. I came to accept that the society I live in will never be a happy place no matter how much people are calling for an end to racism, hatred, violence, and discrimination. The idea of being kind to others and they will return the gratitude sound good on paper and in films, but being applied to real-life is nothing short of a fantasy. I believe that preparing for a dystopian future is more useful and realistic than hoping and praying for a utopian paradise. I feel that people are always seeking mystical comfort than facing and overcoming the uncomfortable difficulties in life. Some people still believe that being nice to everyone will mean a nicer world. It will lead to being taken advantage of and a more unpleasant realization that the world will never be as kind as it should be. Below is an excerpt from a YouTube video that illustrates my point of why everyone does not deserve the courtesy of being treated nicely. “It’s natural and beautiful to strive to be a nice person. In a world full of cruelty and thoughtlessness, nice people are committed to being generous, sympathetic, and gentle. They never want to cause anyone to feel defeated or to lose sleep. They will go to great lengths to spare others tears. It sounds especially lovely. Nevertheless, it seems impossible to go through the whole of life being nothing but kind. Sooner or later, we are all called upon to make decisions that, even as they protect things we very much care about, will ruffle feathers, generate upset, and may lead us to be (at least for a time) violently hated in some quarters.” ~The School of Life~ YouTube video "Stop trying to be nice all the time": https://youtu.be/-TxzW4eklEU
