Do we have to be nasty....

Life is something beautiful. Everybody wants everyday to be nice, enjoying and a happy moment in their life. Nobody wants a miserable life. In going through the process of daily life we meet or engage with other people, either among family members, working colleagues or even strangers while doing business, meetings and travelling. Of course, during these engagements, there will conversation, communications or arguments. Why not we try to minimise confrontational approach but rather be friendly with everybody. In this way, both parties will feel happy and satisfied with the outcome.

But in life not all human are the same. Some will always be nasty in their approaches. They feel their ideas are the best and others are wrong. They will use nasty words and try to intimidate others. The other party, if they are of the milder and nicer-type, they will just keep quiet and listen. On the other hand, if the other party is equally, the nasty type both will end-up arguing things and confrontational with each others. This is where, often, negotiation fails. No give and take policy or compromise. They often end-up even becoming enermies. Do we want many enermies in life?

The question is do we have to be nasty? If we want good solution or outcomes to any matters we want to resolve, we should try to be nice, accomodative and listen to others first. If others are nasty to us, still we try to be polite and make the other party to realize that they too should be nice. In that way, the world will slowly change to be a better place to live.

Note: I'm nice to the nice ones and avoid nasty ones
