Idk-- "nice" people finish last-- I think that can be true.

"Good" people, though, don't necessarily finish last.

But I don't think Goodness equates to Niceness-- sorry to be difficult. 😄

No, I agree 🙂

You are hardly being difficult here, and your sentiments are echoed hence my replacing the term "nice" with "good" in the title.


Why do you suppose "good" people, in contrast, do not necessarily finish last?

Maybe the "good" women who allow less worthy people to leach off of that goodness without hope of return. Those with strength of character though, and whom know when to say enough and walk away, I like to believe that they eventually get rewarded in life.

I suppose it depends on a person's criteria for what makes a woman, or anyone else for that matter, "good".

Well-- like TMV said:

I think "good" denotes strength of character; making tough decisions, even though it may painful, because it is the right thing to do.

And in the end, it will be beneficial.


Whereas "nice" has sort of an enabling feel to it-- NOT making tough decisions, because it may hurt someone's feelings or cause friction.

Which, imo, means that said "nice" person will continue to allow those with inappropriate behavior to run roughshod over them because they didn't want to endure the discomfort of not being "nice".

Bleh.

well good women get stepped on alot in real life,
they get taken advantage of all the time.

But they learn in life, through hardship that they have to be strong to face adversity and have the support of their family and friends, their loving circle.
that no matter what in life, no matter how many people are mean and cruel and unkind, step all over you, treat you like crap, you have to keep living. Because there are people that love you back that want to see you get through life despite all the hardships.

so yes they do kind of finish last, but it's a good thing, because they are happy with people that love them and who they love and cherish back.
