Why can't a huge majority of the human population be nice to others? Is it because of jealousy? Unforgiveness?
...what?

I like your question! I think the reason most people can't or won't be nice to others is because they are too wrapped up in worrying about the me, me , me syndrome -they think only about what best for them. I mrean how hard is it to just say a friendly hi to someone. The fact that in this day and age people are so judgemental is a bad thing they want everything everyone else has and try to see who can get it first it's like to live is to compete and it's just wrong.

For some it is.I have a friend at school that;s having hard times now ;and at school all they do is mock ; tease an tell him what a loser he is,Yes he;s different; but he is the sweetest guy i know.At the school i have asked people to leave him alone as he;s having a hardtime due to family troubles.Friday it was the same bs and even more violent this time.Some people are different and loke different types of music; poetry etc...; but that doesn;t give people the right to bully and spur hate all the day thru; so yes it;s really hard to be nice to these kinds of people.My neiphew gets taunted at his school also as he is a gentle soul so kids call him sissy ; and gay and all the obove,His mom got killed and since then he avoids troubles as she got killed fighting; and he would rather turn the other cheek.I told the principle of these bullys messing with my boy; and she just says the famous 4 words,I will talk to them; which never happens,,Ii went to school to talk to these brats and they told my nephew that they would lie and say i pushed them.Now when i go to talk; i tape what i say and what they say as they would love to get me locked up for revenge,Ps these kids are only 10 and 11,ps it;s hard to forgive when you get slapped again and again.not really slapped but emotionally slapped

People usually follow the path of how their parents once were. So if their parents are mean then they might be. Others might get joy out of it, while some cant help it. A person can find many things in this world annoying and it angers them. Like for example when i get aggravated i get a really short temper and im not so nice. They arent always like that.

Beats the heck out of me, and I've asked myself that same question for a lot of years now. It just seems a lot easier to be kind to someone, rather than being nasty and causing a lot of hurt and bitterness.
Maybe the people who are cruel to others are "damaged goods," themselves. They seem like they're carrying around a huge load of anger and unhappiness -- left-overs from the way that they grew up, perhaps?
It's the only theory that's ever made any sense to me, other than the concept that some people are just genetically predisposed to be angry and bitter.

I think it's mainly two things - an inborn trait either makes people more friendly or more distant. And how the person was raised. Of course the friendliest person in the world will have bad days too. But don't let pissy people get you down or make you change. I try to be friendly with everyone unless they tick me off first.

is it hard? sometimes it can be, but in general no.
i'm not sure i agree with the assumptions in the question, that "a huge majority" can't be nice. You mean most people are mean to most other people most of the time? That's ridiculous. I think most people are nice most of the time, or at least civil.
you got to accentuate the positive
eliminate the negative
don't mess around with mr. in-between

Society has changed alot. The main thing people do is look out for #1. If you are nice to others they see it as a weakness.
So after being nice to people in general and getting screwed over time after time it is harder to be nice to anyone.

I understand what your talking about - it seems as thou no one can do anything for you anymore unless they get something back in return. I've noticed that more in the past few years. Just rememeber, treat people the way you want to be treated. Sometimes its VERY hard, but in the long run you will be nuch happier to yourself. Don't let the people that are not happy with themselves get you down!

I have noticed the same thing myself. I think people are ignorant to others' feelings and frankly have ego problems wherein they have to feel 'right'. Also, I have noticed a large proportion of people expect other people to live their lives by their own standards and values and difference amongst people is becoming much more frowned upon in Western society.

For me its much less stressful being super to people. I cant be mean to others. Its no longer in my nature. whether they are impolite, its continually particularly worth it while your super. Its continually good to no longer permit anger and different damaging thoughts get the better of you. yet often times it particularly isn't any longer undemanding because of the fact there are somewhat some jerks obtainable interior the international.
