Why aren't we nicer?

First, who is apb? I just noticed their comment and I was wondering?

Also, I was wondering, do people ever sit out on their front porch in the cool of the evening any more talking with each other? You know, friendly people just chatting and then other people come walking along and join them. Do many people sit and talk with each other, just being friends, in a safe place? No bragging, or mean arguing, or trying to one up each other, people just talking and listening and even being quiet, enjoying each other’s company? Wouldn’t that be nice? I wish there were more safe places in this world where people could just be. I think in most religions people are taught to love one another, to be nice to each other, to invite people in not shove them out. If so many of us claim to be religious then why aren’t we nicer?

I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel like this is just such a cruel, cruel world. Notice I said "sometimes" because on other occasions I think the world can't be all that bad. If only the work place could be a non-hostile environment . . . ;)

If only every environment could be non-hostile.
