You ever examine why you’re the way you are and if it’s actually healthy or truly beneficial?
I was thinking and there is a such thing as being “too nice” depending on why you are that way. I had a situation on the train earlier, and I thought to myself that always taking pity on someone is not a good trait to have. You end up doing things out of guilt and you take on these “save the world” projects that you can’t manage, for what? For your ego? Sometimes people who are too nice are like people who are too disciplined. We all know those types who do exactly what they are “supposed to do” and look down on others for indulging in things “they are not supposed to indulge in.” Those overly disciplined people aren’t happy either because they do what they do to look down on someone else, not because they really enjoy the way they do things or believe in them. Really you need a balance. You can’t be so overly disciplined that you have no room for spontaneity and you can’t be so nice that you pity everyone because that’s also an ego thing too. One needs to be careful about their intentions. If it’s not because you can actually help but because you want to help to feel good about yourself that can become problematic. Shit shouldn’t be lived in extremes.
And no I’m not drunk or high, just thinking.
