Everyday people are told to do better things and to be nicer, but what if what they are being told is wrong ? What if some people are supposed to be inherently meaner or ruder ? What if?

To be honest, being nice all of the time is harder for some of us. There are times when we cannot muster up the energy to be nice, and say nice things. If we are being truly honest, being nice is not always nice. There are times when responding with kindness is not the answer and only makes the situation worse. When you are met with aggression or hatred, it is sometimes ok to send that bad energy right back. Letting out the negative energy is a lot better than keeping it in. Some people try so hard to be nice all of the time, that they fake it.

Can we all agree that people who fake being nice are actually really bad at faking it?

If you have to fake something, you truly do not mean it. People who fake being nice plaster on a facade that resembles that of the mask used in the purge and expect people to believe that they are truly happy. They use rehearsed high pitched Spongebob like voices to speak to others, and it is unbelievably phony. You are not a cartoon character. Many of us see through their facade. Why not just be yourself ?

Positivity, good energy, and being nice are great things, but everyone cannot provide these things for the world. Some people just need to be mean and rude. If it were not for these people, we truly would not know what niceness is. The world we live in is all about balance. Some are nice and some are mean. Some are good and some are evil. Without the presence of good, we would never be able to discern the bad.

This is a call to all of the people who are tired of being “nice” all of the time, please just be yourself.
