I'm not necessarily nice, but I always try to be kind. I think "nice" is very overrated and perhaps a bit narcissistic. You see, nice doesn't consider the consequences but is usually the path of least resistance. Kind, on the other hand, isn't looking for a pat on the head, it's just doing the right thing. Kindness by definition is thoughtful and virtuous, whereas nice is often superficial and pandering. Here's a little test for you: Next time you see the opportunity, do something kind with anonymity. If you can hardly stand not telling someone, you were being nice, and if you can keep it to yourself and it feels right, you just did an act of kindness. Don't worry, nobody is judging you here, and it might take some practice to make the change from nice to kind, but you will be making the world a better place. I've got to go now, my burrito is getting cold and we all know that's not good!
