cuz nice is relative, and this is a gross overgeneralization,How don't they?
cuz nice is relative, and this is a gross overgeneralization,
also it's a huge cop out for accountability......
the whole concept of nice guy finish last is just wrong on multiple levels.....
100% of the time it's used it's addressing the wrong issue at hand...and people use it as a cop out to avoid dealing with the real issues that's much more reflective of their personal poor choices
people HATE admitting they're wrong...and this is just a manifestation of that
naw i can't name them cuz those are the type who chose to remain nameless....I'm not even just talking about relationships, I'm talking about in life period. Can you name one successful businessman who got their being nice?
Shit, if we really look at the story of Jesus objectively, the nigga was one of the biggest losers of alltime.

Based on what he was about I think he accomplished what he set out to doI'm not even just talking about relationships, I'm talking about in life period. Can you name one successful businessman who got their being nice?

Why does it have to be all or nothing? like either losing because you're nice, or having to win solely on the grounds of niceness.
I can name successful businessmen who are also nice people but no, their niceness isn't the reason for their success. I can name a bunch of nice people who 'lost' at life's battles too, but their niceness isn't what I'd attribute it to. it's usually some other factor at play but people group a whole lot of faults under the label "nice guy".
being nice (treating folks well) is a positive characteristic. the popular vision of a nice guy is actually a weak-willed, that's the problem. you can be nice and have convictions, that isn't a contradiction. I suppose you can be nice and weak-willed too. doesn't mean your niceness is why you are weak-willed. feel me?

What's that save us from our sins? Then why are people still scared of going to hell? Still living shitty lives? etc.
He didn't do shit.
I didnt say any of it was factual or anything. He was described as a selfless humble man, who wanted people to follow his father's faith, as he thought it was the right way to live. Of course there was shitty people/conditions during his time nd there still are but his faith taught that there'd be relief in the after life for those who stayed true to it.What's that save us from our sins?

free will
also, i think people are more afraid of the unknown more than hell but...thats another convo for another thread
hell no. i don't think thats a fair parallel though. is standing up for yourself a contradiction to niceness?
to be truly nice might entail defending other people as well as yourself at times. being non-confrontational goes hand in hand with niceness, that means that niceness and goodness or kindness are no longer synonymous.

Now I dont believe in any faith but as I said he did accomplish what he set out to do.
i think i posted before, i gotta homeboy who's a legi full fledged chemist....
you don't know that until final judgment bruhIdk b. I thought his mission was to save us from our sins, which never happened.
I agree but since when did the turn the other cheek mindset become mutually dependent with niceness?
There are plenty of people who turn the other cheek because it's in their interest and/or they don't want trouble, not because they're nice. Cowardice is just as often the motivation. Just like niceness or a desire to be good to others/themselves can often be a factor in not turning the cheek.
Example: speaking up and defending someone that a group is unfairly ganging up on. they're doing the right thing and proving they're nice but if we're going by the "niceness is weakness" school of thought, confrontation is in contradiction to niceness and therefore they're no longer nice? idk. this shit is confusing.
People often mistake kindness for weakness. The lines have become so blurred. They are not the same.I agree but since when did the turn the other cheek mindset become mutually dependent with niceness?
