The ideal meaning of being nice


The ideal meaning of being nice

Chinese new year is coming. Life goes on as usual. The everyday routine for me now is lab, lecture and doing thesis at home. I've a totally different routine for my weekends though, HAHA.

I was watching a documentary show about World War II on the other day and it mention something about breaking through enemy defences. It's best to be proactive and make the enemy react to your movements.

A thought came across my mind: It's doesnt happens the way you want it to be even when you're proactive all the time.

They say...........I'm passive. Yes, i react to situations most of the time. It depends on who you are, how I feel and what we do. I dont see a need for me to be nice to everyone all the time. You Sheng said something to me today while I was doing lab "What do you do to keep in contact with on-and-off type of friends"?

I said: "I dont keep in contact with them, let nature take its course."

Friends that come and go. They're not the type of friends who will stick around you forever or share intimate stuff with you. They're just like...... strangers who emits warm aura. Nice knowing them though, who noes when I might encounter them again after I graduate. Haha.

Some say.........I'm proactive. Yes, again it depends on who you are, how I feel and what we do. Edwin said "Not everyone likes it when you're proactive, it's scary." I always believe that if you want something, you should always initiate and seize the chance. Often, they end up as failure or creating a form of humiliation for myself. So he asked me "Why are you active suddenly?"

I said: "Because he is nice."

Am I a sucker for people who treats me nicely? Sadly, yes. I wonder if its because I dont really get to encounter people around who treats me nicely. You know, the way I perceive as you being nice to me and not just "you think that you're being nice to me means I should feel that you're nice to me". Then again, people whom I think who treats me nicely might not think that they're being nice to me at all in the first place. It's kinda of a relative issue.

From now, i'll try to see things in a much simpler way and not complicate things.

It's either you're nice or mean
Good or bad
Like or dislike
Love or hate
Yes or no

When there's nothing to talk about and you really want to talk to a person badly, it's kinda nuisance ya.

I wont be a sucker for nice people anymore. For myself, and for her.
