That fine line.

There are a lot of fine lines in this world. For example, the fine line between being chivalrous and being sexist (as I mentioned here). Today, I also realized that there's a fine line between being civil and being fake. In fact, a lot of people think that just because your civil to someone, you're being fake to them. These people forget that being civil with someone means you're still sincere to them.

And a little sincerity goes a long way.

However, I know there are different types of people out there and that they are often sincere on what they say and feel. An angered retort is sincere simply because it is genuinely out of anger. A gloomy greeting is sincere because the person who greeted is genuinely blue. I believe people are only truly worthwhile when they try to be as sincere and civil to others, even to those who they truly loath. If they are not, they are just big bullies who never got over being king of the playground.

You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms.

There is always a better way of saying things the same way there is always a way to never make others around you feel like less than they are. The more we say negative things, fall into negative practices and follow negative advice, the more we are less of ourselves.

Just a thought.
