** I really love and appreciate all of the supportive comments. It will take me a while to get through them all, but I do intend to respond to every one. **

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A wee bit of a ranty stamp, but purposely done in a non-ranty way...

This piece was prompted by a couple of online incidents I've had over the last few weeks. On one occasion, I simply asked how someone was doing, since they were going through a difficult period, and I was lambasted by one of their friends for being inconsiderate for expecting the person to talk about it. This just perplexed me, because I have always heard people complain about the opposite--that they would feel upset when no one cared enough to ask how they were doing. On another occasion, I was accused of being phony when I simply tried to be nice to someone. Truly, does the world expect, or even prefer, everyone to be jerks?

I know some people think that my nice-ness is fake, but it's not. I once read somewhere that throughout history, and in most cultures (even those with no connection to each other), there is some form of the Golden Rule. Namely, treat people how you want to be treated. So, it's not an un-natural thing to expect others to be polite and extend common courtesy. I simply live by that philosophy. I am just continually boggled how people get so much crap and abuse when they are only trying to be nice and helpful. And it saddens me that so many people feel totally okay making someone else feel like dirt.

And before anyone decides to go on a tirade here and justify why being cruel and abusive to others is okay, don't do it. Any comments that are overtly mean, disrespectful, or snarky will be hidden without warning--and I will do it at my sole discretion. I do not subscribe to the idea that you only need to be nice to people who "deserve" it, since that is wholly subjective. I agree that you don't have to hug every stranger you meet, but you don't have the right to kick them, either.

New stamp template by me. I may release later. Pixel font can be found in my resource folder ---> [link]

As with most of my smileys, you may use this on and off dA, without my permission. The only thing I ask is that you keep the file name in tact and don't remove any credit information. If you do use it for something, it would be nice if you could comment and let me know. It encourages me to make more smileys if I know people are using/enjoying them.

Please note, this piece is NOT available for commercial use.***

I agree with the stamp as well as everything in your description. ♥ I don't understand when people say that you have to earn their respect before they're nice to you, etc. I think that everyone deserves respect and kindness... innocent until proven guilty, you know?

`Mirz123 Mar 15, 2013

Absolutely.

I know. Sometimes i see when people ask questions like "how do you do that?" They get rude responses. It's always confused why people consider it cool to be rude. I mean twenty years from now, are they gonna wanna look back and say they picked on people constantly?

`Mirz123 Feb 26, 2013

I know. It's awful.

~Aerodil Feb 19, 2013 Hobbyist Artist

I agree mirz. I wish people were a lot nicer. That's why I try to be nicer to people, and try to make their day get a little better. One smile can go al ong way!

`Mirz123 Feb 23, 2013

Agreed!
