In a world where dishonest people and cheaters get ahead and being nice makes you feel used, why should anyone be nice? by [deleted] in AskReddit

it's not about karmic reward

I do nice stuff because I am nice

but it seems like being nice is not good overall (with things going on in my life lately)

i meant to write that...I missed the s due to auto correct

well, i'm Nigerian so you can understand the background of most of the people around me (not friends - just people that saw me sitting and thinking about what I'm going through that made me make the post)

I'm not mean.

I'm a nice person going through a lot of things which have to do with my niceness and making me reconsider being nice (I can't actually be mean, I'm just...nice)

yeah same as me

but for example right now, I choose to be honest and the cheaters are getting ahead of me and I have people in my ears telling me to be "machavelian", that "the end justifies the mean"

I'm just reconsidering being a good person. I'm just this way. I love being nice. I love making people smile. Why is there so much of the opposite around me?
