Having morals these days is a disadvantage

I'm a nice person (to a point) and I haven't gotten very far in life. :) That being said, I have my own moral code that I adhere to and if everyone else wants to be a pr*ck, then that is up to them. At least I know I'm doing the best I can in life, at the end of the day we're all alone, so it doesn't really matter if we screw everyone over or "be nice", but we have to live with ourselves in the time being so I'm nice. I don't try to be, I just am....until I get annoyed that is!
 
we often say bad person survives longer in this planet than good people. People who have fought for their independence for the good of their people have lived shorter - either they are assassinated or killed by bad people who wants their position.

Now Im either being political , theological or an idiot
 
i think when you do things unconditionally with no expectations, then you're satisfied with your choices. people can only make you feel bad if you let them.

i don't know why exactly, but when a person openly says they are nice, it makes me think twice.. as nice is not a personality trait, it's just an action and anyone can be "nice". the question is why are we being nice and what is the pay off? are we dissapointed because we feel we constantly give and never get in return?

no, it doesn't always pay to be honest, but even when we are taken advantage of, there's always something to learn from it. wether it be something within ourselves we need to work on or to do things differently the next time.

at the end of the day, if you feel you have done the right thing and put your vulnerability out there, i think that is commendable. that to me is not weakness, it is a sign of strength.
 
I appreciate everybody's view - but personally if I want to see light at the end of the tunnel - being nice in life is for a short period - cmon lets face it - also cheating to someone-in class, job, wherever is not nice - so why are we striving to be nice for ever?

let the problem come to you - rule no. 1 always be nice and help to someone asking and not for your gain
rule no. 2 if that person takes advantage of you then why should you be nice?

i've also learnt we might see a person in power, who always gets their way, but we don't know what kind of pain they might be hiding or problems they are facing. not all is what it seems.
