Why not have a day of being nice? A day where everyone who is mean no matter how small, gets thrown in jail because for 24 hours we HAVE to be nice. Why is it easier for us to be mean than it is to be nice? Someone once asked me: What makes you happy? Besides my children, helping other people, making things less stressful for them. I had just helped someone with something and they could see the smile on my face from doing so. It feels good to be nice. The reward is... Rewarding!

I am not sure why, but we have learned to become so negative while being positive brings out the negative attributes in someone else. As if (me) being nice had some kind of malicious intention behind it. No. Some of us are actually just nice. It's harder for me to be mean than to be nice but will anyone believe that I am just naturally nice. Sure I have been walked on, stepped on, and even stomped on, but that didn't take away from who I am and I am just that forgiving too.

We all have had tragedies that have been so devastating, and even though it feels like we won't be able to pull through - guess what? We do. If we didn't have the bad, we wouldn't understand the good. I guess you can say that I have had it with feeling sorry for myself and wanting to give up on humanity. People suck, but not all is us do. It sucks that I have to go through the pain and suffering like everybody else, I am only human.

It sucks even more that there aren't too many people like me left. I hope I am wrong and there are other people who can be happy when they help an old lady across the street, or a lady with her grocery bags, or lend an ear to a stranger just because you can and they need it. I have done a lot of good deeds, and I don't say that to brag. I say it because I am proud. Even when everyone else things I have some kind of intention or motive or I want something out of nothing. Because it is really nothing to be nice.
