I was talking to someone yesterday from church. They had mentioned that because I have a wicked sinful heart, that any and all external acts of benevolence to others was for nothing, and that I was still a terrible person at heart. The idea is that I am over compensating for being a terrible person by appearing to be nice. Essentially, his argument was that even though I had to be nice to him, I should never assume that the generosity will be recognized or awarded. This made me think, clearly me helping others is falling on deaf ears, which then makes me think why should I bother?

Don't be nice. Be kind.

Being nice is a form of cowardice. We be nice because we fear others not liking us.

If our parents had of been fearless in the face of all these social attacks our nations would still be standing.

HATE those who which you harm. Feel the anger. Use the anger
