When you describe someone as "nice," aren't you basically saying, "I have nothing interesting to say about this person."
It seems to me that niceness is a quality which emerges only in the absence of other qualities.
Nice is boring. Cows are nice. But you can't get drunk with cows, you know?
Anyway, many of the best people I know are assholes.

This is true and has also been the cause of a lot of emotional distress for me over the past three years.
ReplyDeleteI completely and totally agree. I've been in a war against the appreciation for niceness.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, honesty is better than kindness any day.
