It's easier to be bad (54)
Damianowen: I just read in a thread that "it's easier to be nice". I beg to differ. eg. It's easier to destroy stuff than it is to make stuff ! Imagine how much better off you would be if you stole something every time you could get away with it, took advantage of someone every time you had the oportunity etc. It's easier to make the headlines for doing something bad. Not that I advocate this behavior at all but here's what I want to know. If you walked into a mall and made havoc with a machine gun, you'd be on the world news that night.
What could you do that was equally good that would reach the same level of exposure?

It might be easier to be nice, but so much more frustrating for others if you're nice!!!
Best to be nice as mice 
Sure being bad will get you noticed, it will even grab you a fame of sorts...
But is that who you want to be?? Much easier and less stressful to just try and be pleasant to people. Way too much energy is spent on angst.

I'll try to be less nice
one nice deed a day keeps evil away

Like they say. Crime doesn't pay. but what good thing could you do that would grab you a fame of sorts for being good?

People get fame for doing good things all the time. Rescues .. a young guy was on the radio for jumping into the water and saving a little doggie!! Didnt even have to brave a burning building .. how easy was that??
Donations.. look at people who donate kidneys and bits to their relatives.. they get good press.
Doesnt matter anyway, because when you do something nice for someone the reward is on the inside!!

To get to the same level of exposure for doing something bad, could take someone a life time to achieve

I know, I'm nice often. Those are examples of opportunities that people have taken but what could you organise tomorrow morning that would have you on the world news tomorrow night? eg, if you robbed a bank successfully and moved to Guatamala it would change your life. It would also change your life if you got caught but this is a best case scenario. It would only take a little while to organise and wouldn't cost a whole lot. What could you do that was equally life changing and good?

But doesn't have to.
Id rather be remembered for being a good guy than for being a bad guy anytime!

A guy hit the world news a few years ago, he went out with a sign that said free hugs, and hugged people !!
There,s a saying - Every good deed comes with a price!

now that's good! 
melty1: now that's good!
Indeed darl
All good deeds should be done without praise, making headlines. I don't need a sticker to say i donated money to a charity either. Just do it!
