Have you Noticed?
Have you noticed that when we're nice to one person, sometimes that means we're not nice to many?
The best example of this is holding the door to a train. Sure, the person who was late is psyched. But what about the person on the train who's running late to work, but got to the train on time? And what about the train engineer, whose carefully planned schedule is now thrown off?
Or starting meetings on time. Why respect the time of people who are late over that of the people who made it on time?
We always perceive society like Spock, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." But we all secretly want to be Kirk, "the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many."
Who have you been mean to while being nice?
