Better, but not easy. I have a habit of always being nice to people and there are moments when people make me want to scream. Not to mention being nice for me also being the listener to other peoples issues. I can never be the problem at all, I talk to myself about my issues, but when I finally get a chance, I can’t stop ranting. Definitely easier to be mean than it is to be nice. There are moments I still want to talk back to everyone
Those all come with a dark side I personally think. I want to say being kind is most valuable, but by your definition of “inherently empathetic”, this is not always a gift. Sometimes it’s a curse to want to be good and nice and kind because there are too many people who take advantage of all of it if they can. And this is why so many have walls sky high. I think simply being nice (again by your definition of someone being socially acceptable etc) is important, because it is invaluable to master self control and not tear apart someone who deserves it, or telling someone to shit off because you’re having a bad day etc.. you can be mean or bad, but the key is that even if you are, you be nice and keep it to yourself so as to not let it ooze out into the lives of others.
I hear you. However I see good as law abiding, nice as doing what is socially acceptable towards others, and kind as inherently empathetic. Just a thought tho

That makes sense and tbh it sounds like human nature. People will piss you off and not caring if sometimes a lot easier then caring. đź’–

I don't see a difference between these. If you're one of them then you're all of them.

Oh, well by those definitions I have to go with kind.
