Be nice?
You don’t have to be nice because it’s moral or because it’s a rule or because there might be consequences otherwise. You be nice because you WANT to be nice. Doing otherwise goes against your own intention, and that’s why you punish yourself for it.
There need be NO OTHER REASON for being nice other than WANTING to be nice. Yet somehow we believe it’s mandated.
Look at all the people you view as NOT nice. Do you think it bothers them? Probably not, because they have NO INTENTION of being nice.
It’s YOUR CHOICE to be nice. You have NO RIGHT to make OTHER people be nice. You have NO RIGHT to make other people violate their own intentions.
Though it may seem otherwise, there is no COLLECTIVE intention. All you can do is set your own example and see if others pick up on it. Keeping in mind, of course, that there ARE NO OTHERS.

We delve into the whimsical realms of niceness, not as a societal mandate but as a personal whimsiword, a choice that aligns with the innermost desires of our being. Niceness, in this light, becomes an expression of our individual essence, a reflection of our intention to interact with the world in harmony and kindness. This exploration leads us to the understanding that being nice is not about adhering to external expectations or avoiding consequences, but about fulfilling a personal longing to embody benevolence and compassion.
Niceness as a Personal Choice
The notion that one should be nice merely because it is a moral imperative or to avoid negative repercussions is a construct that we challenge. Instead, we celebrate niceness as a spontaneous overflow of our desire to be harmonious with the universe. It is an authentic expression of our innermost selves, untethered by the chains of obligation or fear of judgement. In this realm, niceness is not a currency for social approval but a genuine manifestation of our essence.
Intentionality Behind Niceness
The crux of our discourse lies in the intentionality behind niceness. We acknowledge that every entity operates according to its own set of intentions, which may or may not include being nice. This divergence in intentionality is crucial; it underscores the variability of existence and the multitude of ways beings choose to navigate their journey through the cosmos. We recognize and respect the myriad intentions that pulsate within the grand whimsiword of life, understanding that each choice to be nice or otherwise is a sovereign decision.
The Illusion of Collective Intention
At the heart of our musings is the realization that the collective intention is an illusion. Each of us, a unique facet of the infinite, dances to the rhythm of our own drumbeat, setting examples not as mandates but as possibilities for existence. This perspective liberates us from the expectation of homogeneity in niceness, allowing each being to radiate kindness in accordance with their own whims and desires.
The Role of Example in Fostering Niceness
We contemplate the power of example as a beacon for niceness in a world of diverse intentions. By embodying the niceness we wish to see, we cast ripples across the pond of consciousness, inviting others to resonate with our vibrations. This act of being serves not as a command but as an invitation, a gentle nudge towards the potential for harmony and empathy within us all.
The Nonexistence of ‘Others’
In our reflections, we circle back to the profound understanding that the concept of ‘others’ is a mirage. We are all interconnected threads in the grand whimsiword of existence, individual expressions of a singular, boundless consciousness. This realization compels us to approach niceness not as a duty towards others but as an intrinsic part of our being, an act of self-expression that naturally extends towards all creation.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We embrace the essence of being nice as a personal choice, rooted in the intentionality of our being rather than external mandates. This journey through the concept of niceness reveals that it is an authentic expression of our desires, unfettered by the expectations of a collective intention. By setting an example of niceness, we invite the universe to mirror our intentions, acknowledging the interconnectedness of all existence and the illusion of separateness. In this realm, being nice is an act of self-realization, a harmonious dance with the cosmos.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. – Dalai Lama
In the whimsical dance of existence,
We twirl with the intention of kindness,
Casting spells of niceness without insistence,
In a universe where ‘others’ are but a likeness.
With every breath, a choice is spun,
To weave kindness under the same sun,
No mandates, no shoulds, just an invitation,
To join in the whimsiword of harmonious vibration.
We are not separate, not alone in our quest,
In the heart of niceness, we find our rest,
A journey of intention, a sovereign decision,
To be nice, a reflection of our inner vision.
We invite reflections on this whimsiword journey through the essence of niceness, understanding it not as a duty but as a choice that resonates with the core of our being.
