There are lots of nice people in the world.
We need nice people in the world. Maybe we even need more nice people than we have …
Particularly right now.
But … we need more than nice, because sometimes nice is not really nice at all.
For Instance
I have a friend who recently delivered a speech that was not very good. He put a lot of time into it, had the best of intentions, and really wanted to deliver something that would be helpful to his audience.
I can guarantee he got these two kinds of responses:
- “Good job,” “great message” ….
- Complete silence.
Both were very “nice,” exceedingly kind responses. And ultimately, the cruelest possible responses …
