Is Everyone Nice???


So you are walking along the street smiling at something that happened earlier in the day. Then this man passes by you and looks at you in a way that says ‘You must be crazy, walking and smiling to yourself like that.’ And you’re looking back at him like ‘What? Your face is scary, do you mind smiling a little? Or one day your mom gets you really angry so you storm out of the house but the anger is showing on your face and you do not care about what anyone thinks. People pass by you smiling and you think ‘why should someone be happy?’ Or u wallow in self pity because someone is happy. But, come to think of it, what should those happy people think of you when they see your face?

I think that someone who is nice is a person who is beautiful both on the inside and outside. Not just physical beauty but beauty in character, relationships, language, you name it. Have you realised that when you’re happy, you mostly want it to show and want everyone to feel the same way? You greet everyone you see with a smile and you help more willingly. I am pretty sure that everyone who catches you during this time would have the impression that you are a nice person. Usually people wouldn't have a problem being around you then.

Lets look at the other side; when we’re angry or sad. We dont even try summon a smile to cheer ourselves up much less those around us. We are frowning and grumpy, grumbling at everything. Anyone meeting us for the first time would conclude that it was our nature but then those who know us may understand. Several people have gotten horrible nicknames because of this reason; that people come in contact with them at a time when they are not in a good mood. But that is not to excuse ourselves for not being nice to others.

As you read this you may think of someone whom you have decided is not a nice person, probably because you haven’t seen them smile or they don’t talk nicely to people or something.. And mostly these are judgements coming from a distance. I believe that no matter how ‘unnice’ a person may seem there must be at least one person to which they are nice that may not be us. This doesn’t mean that they can’t be nice if they try. All it takes is a little effort. Let us try to be nice to everyone and not only those around us, even when we are ‘not in the mood’ as is normally said. Not becaues of what others might think but for ourselves. So we don’t regret later things we said or did when we were ‘not in the mood.

To me, everyone is nice and can be nice. Yes, everyone is nice. We just don’t see it. Perhaps, we may begin to see the niceness in others when we let the niceness in us also show.

'Nashing or Nah?

  So... Y'all know there's no month like October, right? The best month of the year. If you disagree, well, soak the sky!   I found from a fellow blogger,  Dave that there's a blogging challenge 'Blogtober' where you have to put up something on your blog every single day in October. Basically, aims at encouraging bloggers to create content, I guess. I haven't posted in a while (I know! You don’t have to remind me!) but I have written stuff that only a handful of people might have seen (some unseen because I wasn't sure of myself) so I thought to myself; oh wow, this really cool! Maybe this is the time to share all that I've been keeping to myself. Heads up: there'll be a lot of short pieces...call them mini-poems if you like. For such posts, I'll try and maybe give a little background, what brought those thoughts about (if I remember) If anyone thinks I should definitely work on it some more, feel free to let me know; I'd totally con

Attraction: Is it Enough?

Blogtober post  5: What is the first thing you notice about a person when you first meet them? What is the first thing that attracts you to a person? Their body stature? Their height? The guys, boobs or booty? My ladies, six pack anaa? For me, the basic thing that I look out for that attracts me to a person even before I get to really know them is their eloquence. I mean, if they’re easy on the eyes, that’s a plus too. But for me, the brofo is very necessary for any further engagement. Please I'm just kidding. Source: ca.askmen.com Attraction is a quality that sparks an interest/desire in, or gravitation towards a person or a thing(Wikipedia came through again). Attraction can be platonic, physical or sensual, emotional, sexual or romantic, even intellectually. You can be attracted to a person in combination of ways. And they don't always go hand in hand. For example, you can be attracted to a person so they can be your friend(platonic). You can be attracted to a person emoti

Do I Really Know You?

Blogtober Post 7: Okay, so funny scenario. Actually no, this isn’t funny. Fine, you tell me by the time you’re done. So say you have a friend, really good friend of the opposite sex. You’ve been friends for years. And as normal friendships go, you fight from time to time, have a falling out or two, but you know by now that you’re going to be friends for life. Now, you met outside of your usual circle, so as far as you know, you have no mutual friends. You talk about your families and other friends, but you haven’t actually met them. It’s not like you’re keeping your friendship a secret; you’re not even really sure why. This is someone you talk to nearly every day, and you meet up with    from time to time. So one weekend you call and there’s no answer. That’s not the problem, but your friend doesn’t call back after a couple hours, which is unusual. Throughout the day, you call again, and again, and again, and yet again; still no answer and no call back. By night fall, different
