Then why are you not nice? People are not nice when you are not nice to them. Passive aggressive is not nice. Dismissal is not nice. Insincerity is not nice. They are many ways not to be nice and you can be mean with kind words.
There's you go... Did you know there are purple cows in the Alps..?
It's all about illusions, just like the ghosts... now you see them, now you don't... And sometimes they will arise again like a Phoenix from the ashes...
I always say it's nice to be nice and even nicer to be nicer. If nice doesn't cut it, at least be the nicest meanie you can be. That's always nicer than being a mean nice. Isn't that the best nice anyone can ever be. I mean really. Thank they.
