Civil behavior and the cold hard reality, it's so perplexing.
I've posted at quite a few music forums and it's an interesting bit of human nature that there is almost always this conflicting tone that starts to form when a group of people start to become familiar with one another.
There's the camaradarie of peers that is nice and positive, but there's always, particularly in competitive environments, this under the surface volcano that can erupt at any time when somebody is either provoked or chooses to step past the niceties.
I'm torn. Sometimes I hate seeing people be brutal to good people, but on the other hand, the ultra-nice scene is pretty boring and even empty when it's clear there is a lot of restraint being expected.
Is the problem that most of the artists think they are heads above the rest and everybody disagrees on that? Does it have to do with social perceptions, like so-and-so is respected and he shouldn't be, where a number of people think that.
If everybody was completely honest, it would be anarchy. If everybody stays in a shell, it's madness.

When you meet a nice, Ugly girl in person...do you tell her she's ugly? and if so, Why would you do that? Now, I have no problem calling an ugly girl a Bitch if she is one,....but I can't blame her for being ugly. Maybe I could blame her Parents????? :)
There are niceties and "civil" norms that are in place because of sheer decency..... There is a fine line between constructive and destructive...Its somehow lost on some. It seems easy, but it can be quite complex.
Regards,
Jeff

I think most people, especially the artiest types, are the walking wounded of this world. We all hurt from something in life. And being songwriters we dig those feelings up from time to time. So we don't want to create more stress then is necessary. Now if you insult someone, 1, they get hurt, and 2, they will try to hurt you back in some fashion. If your head is clear at that moment you will avoid such a thing. Now that underlying tension you sense, I think is stress waiting to jump up out of us, and sometimes it don't take much, unfortunately.

Isn't it a good thing not to want to see people be brutal to good people? Isn't that what friends do is help defend against harm? Or are you brutal to your friends since being nice gets boring? *puzzled_look*

Too much nice is boring. Too much of you is boring too.
