You are looking at the world from a particular perspective and that's why everything seems to fit into a clear (if less than perfect) picture. Someone else sees it all rather differently. This is not their fault, nor is it a reflection of ignorance on their part. It is just a natural, necessary, dynamic. Or, at least, that's what it is until you allow it to annoy you. But you have to decide whether a source of frustration represents a reason to feel hard done by, or a reason to feel that positive change can occur if only you can make enough effort.Some say that it is misleading and manipulative to express an artificial emotion. If, for example, you meet someone that you don't get along with and you greet them warmly, making cheerful conversation, isn't that 'false'? Or is it just being pleasant? Perhaps the argument becomes stronger if the encounter is with someone that you actively dislike or you suspect feels the same about you. Even here, there is more to be gained from nicety than from nastiness. Andto do the sweetest thing is also to do the best thing.
