One of the most commonly used words to describe someone is “nice”. “Nice” precedes “guy” almost automatically in many conversations.
We are trained to like “nice” people. Many of us want to be thought of as “nice”. We’re anxious that other people think that we are “nice”. Most of us spend a large part of our lives wanting to appear “nice”.
We live in a world that values “niceness”. “Nice” people are easy to get along with. They are easy to be around. No sharp edges. No uncomfortable truths, no blatant lies.
We can watch as “nice” people turn their country into a tyranny rather than stand up for what they believe.
Yet, who knows what “nice” means?
“Nice” comes from the Latin.
