"Be Nice" - A Guest Contribution

Nov 26, 2005 23:05

The following article was written by an extremely gifted and extremely intelligent friend of mine. The person wished to remain anonymous, and it was with reluctance that I agreed to that condition, but the person said that anonymity was the only way he or she would ever post on my livejournal. I confess, I changed the opening statement of this ( Read more... )

You should "be nice" to everyone because that can be a self esteem boost for you. That was a really good entry. I think I know who wrote it but I can keep a secret.

The author states that being kind on small occasions doesnt always change the world, but on that part i have to differ. His own kindess on this very ( ... )
