Why isn't it enough to be honest and polite?
I was taught like most children in this world that you should allways treat people nice, beeing polite and most of all to be honest. However the older I get the more I see that doing theese things don't get you further or give you more credit than sometimes beeing a real jerk to people and treat them badly. I've seen to many times now that even how mean a person could be to another all that is needed to make it just the way it was before is a simple "I'm sorry" or "I've changed now". Of course I know that we make mistakes in our life that we regret from the bottom of our hearts but some times it's hard to see someone just get away with a bad thing so easily. I don't know maybe it's me beeing naive to still think you have to be nice and honest all the time to be a good person in life, but that's the way I was taught and I can't change that. I still belive it's the right thing but i'm starting to feel doubtful about it.
I can understand it's hard to let someone go that's been close to you but and I don't know how I would act myself but my mind tells me that if someone treats me bad time after time and hurt my feelings it's not worth holding on to anymore. This is how I think it would work but reality states another answer and I guess that's the way to go no matter how much you want it to be the way I thought. Most of us and even I know that the world isn't black and white, there is a grey zone in between but sometimes that zone seems very big and stretches long in to the black and white zones.
A wise person once said that everyone can change, it's just a matter of time and effort but everyone must know that for every action there is a consequence and once you've done something it cannot be undone, it will follow you everywhere you go.
I know most people would answer the question "Is it wnough to be hones and polite" with a simple "Yes" but I doubt that in the end that's allways the truth, i've seen too many times people acting bad against others and yet they still remain more important than a person that has treated them good and been honest. I wish to someday have an answer to this question and hopefully it will be the answer i've had my whole life but as I said, the more of this I see the more I doubt that my way is the "right" way....
