Be Nice

You never know what anyone else is facing.
Their troubles could be monumental.
Forgive their actions and be nice.
Someone could have had a seriously bad day.
They could be rushed and frantic.
Forgive their harsh words and be nice.
The bitterness from and belittling by someone
is a sure sign of self-esteem issues.
Forgive them their problems and be nice.


Retaliating, Reacting and Vengeance
never gets you anywhere but in the same boat
with the person who upset you.
Instead . . . be nice.


Until, of course, it's time to NOT be nice.
At that point . . . just breathe and walk away.
Your integrity is far more important
than making your point.


Wave while you walk away.
It's the nice thing to do.
