I like the idea of comparing the #nice with the #kind. (I'm assuming you mean "nice" in the 21st century sense, rather than the 18th century sense.) This can make for a more fruitful discussion of #ethics.

As for "good" being more subjective, I'm not sure what you mean, and would like to hear more about it. Caveat: I think you might get some arguments from Platonists!

@djsolar913

So is kindness a sort of luxury when we are experiencing bullying or fascism??

I'm doing my best to shift away from the word "nice" as I reflect on this. It's a word that has a fascinating history, but I'm not really interested in the 21st century concept of niceness.

#Kindness and #compassion are much more pressing issues.

(With apologies to Iris Murdoch, the author of "The Nice and the Good.")
