Will you be surprised that I tip washroom attendants, thank street workers and donate, too? People do this simply out of sympathy or gratitude. These aren't eloquent enough to prove that you are a nice person. What is your defination of being nice?
There is a difference between being nice and being selfless.
Being nice is simply the equivalent of posessing ethics. Thats All.
Mother Theresa was not nice..... She was Selfless. She was scrificial.And her sacrifice was her life.
So at the end of WWII millions of Chinese alongwith million others were killed. How has that changed the present? China is still hell bent on the ethnic cleansing of Tibet.
The war in Georgia after provocation left so many devastated.
And Britain is still fighting internal ad external demons.
Mob Mentality still prevails in India. Just look at the riots there.
Mankind is just a sacrificial lamb.
Patriotism, Religion, Power the reason for so many wars, has left us devoid of any sense of humanity.
So quit counting the numbers dead, cause they are insignificant! Period!
