Some people are considered nice and other people are considered nasty. Let's use these as our two opposing polls and let's see how people look at others.

One person might have a temper and might yell at other people, but he is willing to listen to another point of view of the other side, he's willing to accept what other people say, and he's willing to make calm, reasoned judgments, although he himself when he sometimes explodes. When he explodes, it's because the other person deserves the explosion, but he does get it.

Another person might be calm and quiet but very stubborn, put his foot down, insist on getting his way, but in a very calm reasoned way. This person is considered to be nice, but he's stubborn, unyielding, and inflexible.

Which of these people is nice and which of these people is nasty? There are many people who would say that the quiet, pleasant guy is nice even though it's impossible to deal with him and to negotiate with him on important issues. Those same people would say that the fellow with the temper who yells is nasty, although he's a person who thinks and who is considerate, and who is understanding of another person's point of view.

The way that the world looks at a person who is nice or a person who is nasty should be different from this. A nice person should be one whom you can deal with. The fact that he has a temper should not be the prevailing issue but rather his other assets. The quiet, calm guy who is stubborn and unyielding should be considered nasty. After all, there's no way to work with such a guy and he's going to have to get his way or else you're going to have to part ways. That should be the one who is considered nasty. But strangely he's the one who is considered to be nice.

People have a strange way of looking at others and establishing for themselves whether they are nice or nasty.

Strange world.
