Kill with kindness?

stream

This would be nice

But fakin bein nice is so easy

And some ppl be too good at that sht

It takes a lot of willpower to stick by this belief but in the end, I guess this is the ideal way to achieve true peace of mind.

That is a world that I wish I could live in, oh well for now let's kill this love

I agree. And the good news is, usually it's worth it. Most of the powerful people I know are like the way you described. It's very human of people to act the way you expect them to act so if you treat them like shit, they will act like shit, and viceversa.

I try my best to be nice to people as much as I can, cause I can't handle conflicts well. But sometimes... you just don't receive the same treatment from who you are nice with and It's hard to not be upset.

Exactly what I was thinking lol

To extent, but it won't work with everyone, there are people willing hurt you regardless of your response for a multitude of reasons same as there's some who will go above and beyond for you, two sides of the extreme.. (some of which people may not ever experience in there life time)

Most people flutter somewhere in between, as do responses to those that are either towards you.

As the old sayings go,

treat people how you want to be treated, (which I abide by and has worked for me well in life)

And the other:

if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all (this works to an extent but not always)

But ultimately you have to hande certain things the best way you know how, which is different for everyone that's all you can really do.

Failing that being respectfully civil (not necessary nice or rude) is your best bet really.

I agree. A little kindness can go a long ways in some situations, but honestly it’s really difficult sometimes. People don’t give you the same respect and it’s within anyone’s normal given reaction to address that person they way they are addressing them. I just think once people start to realize that words can truly impact someone’s life, everything will be better, but there are so many people in this world that will do the stupidest sh*t just to prove a point or make someone feel bad...and that’s a whole other problem within itself.

its how i live by now. i get called a lot of things, but instead of being upset, i just tell that person to have a good day. being kind is always good, and it typically shocks people.

It would be nice but human nature being what it is, it ain’t going to happen.

That's the ideal, and something ideal can't be exist

In theory yes. In practice, we have lot of programmed behavior that doesn't allow for that. Even if we are aware and don't act on them, it's not too hard to get this exploited by others through propaganda and marketing. Also, geography is a major source of societal anxiety. Geopolitics shape human behavior.

I think if our technology becomes advanced enough to overcome geopolitical and resource anxieties, a lot of evils of the world could be solved.

Individually we have some control, but in the end it's not just about everyone being nice. Rethinking how we manage resources and how to rebalance the relationship of people in power and people who give the power to them would go a long way. History of mankind is basically this: anxiety over managing resources and power.

In a karmic kind of way, it could work.

but that's all well and good in an ideal world and throughout the entirety of human history it has never ever happened...

the rich and powerful got to where they are on the backs and shoulders of those beneath them...

I actually think the opposite that as children we are coddled too much into believing that we should all be nice and kind and generous and wonderful and the world will do so to?

That's poppycock thinking when in fact we should be learning to be less naive and gullible and to at least learn to protect ourselves and to learn who and why the rich and powerful got to where they are...
