what happened to nice

i am amazed at the lack of nice that exists in the world today.
it seems we have become unbelievably crass and calloused towards the feelings of others.
try being nice today.

just for the day:

• do not insult others
• do not make fun of anyone else
• do not berate someone for their opposing view
• do not trash the other team
• do not make fun of a posted photo
• do not gossip

just for the day:

• smile
• give a compliment
• thank someone for their effort
• pick up a tab
• close a car door
• offer to put away a grocery cart

just be kind.  kind is more than an act - it is a way of life.  this is not a guide of how to be nice or kind, but rather a living breathing example of how we each chose to be.  might i suggest this short read: http://www.superherodesigns.com/journal/archives/002090.html
