My oldest adult son once told me that I taught him and his siblings to be nice to everyone, no matter who they are. I don’t think he could have said a nicer thing about my parenting (which wasn’t perfect by any means).
I remember when I was a kid I hated being described as ‘nice’. How boring! But it didn’t take too long thankfully before I grew up enough to understand just how important such a trait was. I’ve always been service-oriented in my work roles and have so enjoyed helping everyone and now that I’m retired I volunteer in heaps of roles. I get so much pleasure from this. I really wish others understood that it’s not a self-sacrificing thing to help others. It truly brings great joy to both the giver and recipient. Caring and kindness are invaluable. I know many similar people and I’m so thankful for that. Life is full of joy. Take care my dear. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes.
I am so fascinated by the kindness campaign on social media and I jumped on as an advocate for kindness matters instantly..sometimes it's not what you give another person as in a need..here's some water to drink..but how it is offered..here is some chilled but not iced to the rim so it's painfully frozen..drink of water in a real glass utensil and a napkin to keep your hands dry and offer to fill again if needed..just my way of delivering the best possible kindness I would want for myself..
Niceness is very important to me. Thanks so much for posting about it. I think nice people are happy people because they tend to have more meaningful and caring relationships with others.
We need more nice people in the world. sometimes nice people have to take on too much responsibility for being nice while others just enjoy it and don’t think to reciprocate. Let’s all be nice to a nice person, I say! 💛

Morals and justice are more important than money and roles which often require subliminating ethics and justice.
