There’s no such thing as something inherently ‘nice’ or inherently ‘bad’.

The thing is from the moment you were put on this planet, the majority of people around you including media constantly have been saying something is nice or something is not so that you’ve come to believe as if it were really true.

But the reality is it’s all about your perspective to decide what’s nice and what’s bad for YOU. How on earth is possible that all of these 7 billion people consider the same thing as nice or bad when they are all different and unique. And you’re clever enough to know just because lots of people say it is doesn’t mean mean that it’s true.

I sometimes even doubt the very definition itself of ‘nice’ and ‘bad’. After all, it’s a part of language and language is what us imperfect human beings have created for convenience and efficiency as it is evolving at this very moment, too.

So don’t get yourself caught with the meaningless meaning of ‘nice’ and ‘bad’ which were imposed by the majority of people who are exactly as imperfect as you. Create your own meaning of ‘nice’ and ‘bad’ if needed and follow those throughout the life. And that’s what will make a well-lived life in the end.
