There comes a breaking point to decide…”do I WANT to be thoughtful for this person when they obviously aren’t thoughtful to ME?” Normally I would say yes…compassion is something in our hearts, and most of us can’t escape who we are, but for me I think it’s time I did. There’s no reason to be so nice to people that don’t respect you for it and still simply take advantage of you. I think we have every right to not go out of our way to be someone’s friend. Especially not if they are giving “limitations” that we have to follow in order to BE their friend. And so based on that, the way I’ve recently started seeing it, that leaves me with no moral obligation to be nice to people like that. “kill them with kindness” is a bunch of crap. If we cater to someone who treats us like shit and try to be all friendly and stuff, it just makes us look desperate and inadequate.I’m sick of being “too nice” and the “nice guy” all the time. It’s too advantageous to others.
