Can you be honest.........It would be nice if all the people were nice, and loving. On the path to spiritual enlightment every person would be there with you...........People will lie to you,betray you, selfishly hoard your property.............The human prospective is to hate those that hate you.............Or offer love for insult because that person needs love and healing..........what do you do in your life??

I have a quote, "Nothing ever stays the same." I pray people will change but if they don't maybe someday. There is no way I can change these people so why try be yourself. Find other people. I cannot be around liars! They can cost you many years wasted!

Yes, you can still love someone thats not nice. What I do is Be Myself. If I want to say Hi, I do it. Doing nice things feels good to me. I will always tell the truth. I cant control what others do or think. Some people stop thinking so selfishly when they get more mature. You may like this movie called "Pay It Forward".

Of course! There is a huge difference however, between loving someone and liking them. Think about it. You can love someone but at certain times, not like them at all. Remember too that YOU are far from perfect and have probably said and done things that may have offended others. No one is perfect, but some people are very mean and nasty, I agree. As for the next poster who hates people who hate, remember this: Hate is a very draining emotion (like jealousy). It robs the one who is hating of all energy and other emotion, and doesn't solve anything.

That "not nice" person had own reason why not nice.. I almost always try to figure that out. When I can guess a reason, it's much easier to "keep loving." I wish someday I can love people without this reasoning.
Think about when you were not that nice. You had your own reason, like, you are in period or you had something bad happened to you minutes ago, right? We usually are very generous and understanding in our own mistakes, so I try do the same to others...

I sometimes love people more when they are not "nice." Nice is different for every person.
In general i think people think nice is treating that individual person with a pleasant demeanor. However i find that nice should mean respectiful more than pleasant. Nice shows generousity and to be honest is to show such a thing. Honesty is not always pleasing...

That's a good question. If you consider the relationship between a parent and a child. Doesn't your mom and dad love you regardless of how many times you lied to them in your life? They get angry perhaps. They may punish you perhaps. They may arrange to have you make good on whatever responsibility they want you to take on perhaps. But they never run a campaign of hatred against you.
True not all relationships is like that between a parent and a child. But the important thing here is that unconditional love is POSSIBLE between two human beings. If it's possible here, it's possible elsewhere.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is
not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres.....Love never fails. . . "

Loving someone who is not nice does not make any sense.
Love is but a feeling of affection. Feeling affection for someone who treats you badly is certifiable. There are others who will treat you well, focus on those individuals.
Someone who feels that it is morally or ethically justifiable to lie to you, cheat you, rob you, etc. is likely to be that way for awhile. Choosing to continue any relationship with them is accept their treatment. A choice I won't be making.

You can't live anyone else's life, but when they are not nice to you, you can turn the other cheek and keep loving someone else or something else or at the very least yourself. Just don't let yourself get disconnected by those who prefer to suffer.

I think that at the heart of all religions is unconditional love but most of us are not evolved enough to give love unconditionally ...I'm certainly not. I also think you can love someone but not like them. I was certainly in that situation and oh boy is it uncomfortable.

If I can be honest with you for a minute, Jesus Christ is my savior and he says that 2 luv those who only love u is not justice. He says that love those who hate you and in the day of judgment you shall be saved
