On being not-so-nice.

I really should be nicer. Than I am. Don’t know what possesses me. But sometimes, I don’t act very nice. It’s as if the devil made me do certain not-so-nice things. Though I’m skeptical. That there’s a devil. Maybe it’s one of my many strange impulses. To test the bounds. By being not-so-nice. Especially to mean-spirited people.  To Republicans. To racists. To scalawags. So difficult. Getting through life.  By being fair and nice to everyone.  An impossibility. But I do find that niceness is contagious. Nice people tend to make me more nice. –Jim Broede
