Cold as..Nice?

It occurs to me...on several occasions in my life be called "too nice". On the other hand, I've also been called "cold" and at least in one case both by the same person. ( Now thats a interesting accomplishment.) But I digress...

Now I don't mean, " Aww, you're too nice". ( That, I like. I'll take that all day) It's more like " You know what your problem is? ( Oh please tell me) You, you're too nice". Wha? I didn't realize you could be "too nice". I always thought being nice was a good thing. The way I see it being nice and agreeable beats the alternative, responding to every crackpot comment with "Listen you f***in dolt, you're an idiot. You open your piehole and you make the rest of the world a little bit dumber". Thats just not nice.

I know there are those out there that advocate brutal truth. "Hey, I just tell it like it is. If you don't like it thats you're bad". MMmm...no. You have a responsibility for the words that you speak. Once those words leave your mouth you are liable for how those words land on the recipient. Of course you can't be held responsible every time your message is twisted and misunderstand. But I think ever people were a little less cut throat and a a little nicer the world would be a little better. Or at least we'd be free to focus on more important things...like ending celebrity gossip...
