WHY??????
Because experience and logic have taught us that what goes around comes around, and that kind, decent, generous, compassionate, empathetic people tend to have more friends, nicer kids, and generally happier lives than assholes, even if the assholes often make more money. Sometimes we even get together in communities where most of us feel this way, which is really nice, until the assholes start showing up.
If I were to start a religion, it would have two commandments:
1. Don't be an asshole.
2. If you really feel that you have to be an asshole, don't be one every day. Take one day a week off and be very nice to everybody. See which days make you happier...
PS: I've used the word "asshole" six times in one post, and I'm wondering if I can get a reprimand from SI out of it. I've never had one. It is my secret sorrow. |
