Nice or Kind?

There is a difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice is simply a matter of doing or saying nice things, often in return for something (affection, attention etc). Even your worst enemy can be nice to you. But being kind is selfless. It means what you are doing is purely from the heart. Whether the recipient acknowledges it or not doesn't matter because you did it for no other reason than you wanted to. You can fake being nice. But you can't fake kindness.
