I think that we are all connected in humanity, spirituality and nature at some level. I think that level is a personal space, that some feel closer to the connection than others do. This possibly comes from exposure to the connection or not and the experiences we have with humility, and our conscience.

Do I think it's easy to pretend to be nice? No I don't think it is easy and I don't think everyone tries to be nice. It's just not in everyone's nature. They have unresolved issues in some area that won't let them know humility, humanity, spirituality, and compassion for fellow beings.

Ya know some believe that for every action there is a reward. To some extent this is true, but not always. Sometime the only reward is that the action makes you feel better, that you did something nice without expecting anything in return.

That is one reason I started the "What did you give today" thread, that some have dumped on with some displays of giving that were not my intent for the thread. Giving, "being nice", regardless of your intent is a feel good thing it makes you feel good and makes others feel good too, be it human or nature. Being "all connected" to me is a reality. We are all connected in some realm, we have to recognize it and nurture the connection in a positive way.
