How will you answer? This question has 2 meanings when spoken in different tones. With a soft tone it shows that the person asking is really interested. In a harsher tone it would not be a question anymore, a sentence out of annoyance, a rant. Jon gave a very pure answer without hesitation when prompted by his mum with the same question"...it is not wrong to be nice to people" Such was his personality that there is no wonder everyone warms up to him.
But the truth is, somebody might just take it for granted, whoever he or she might be. There are always people around asking for favours in an unashamed manner. The same type of people will not appear when they doesn't have any favours to ask from you. It is indeed not wrong to be nice to people but do they deserve it if they think you are bounded to fulfill their wishes? In a harsher tone, it means you have to help them out no matter what if you still treat them as friends. Not saying no has indeed encouraged the thick skinned community to roam freely with the thought that it is ok to ask favours cheaply at any time, any place, any condition.
The worse will be during your turn for help, the ones you helped without hesitating in the past suddenly have thousand and one excuses to say no to you. Feeling stupid? Better discard that thought!...it is not wrong to be stupid as well. It comes out of your conscience to help people regardless of their intentions. I certainly don't mind being stupid for a thousand times, if the guilty ones will get their act right one day. I await that day...
Why are you being so nice to people? My heart told me to, as simple as that. I guess jon will nod silently in agreement from above watching over me.
