A person's true nature is revealed by how they treat those they have no reason to be nice to.

Yea?


not really... maybe his meds just kicked in... you have to know someone a long time to get a "true nature"

Dragoness, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying a persons true nature is revealed by how they treat someone who has given them reason not to be nice, i.e., hurt them in the past. Or are you saying a person's true nature is revealed by how they treat someone the don't know?


I think both.

Depends on WHY they are being "nice".


It says they have no reason to be nice.

I agree to a certain extent.

If he hasn't cut the apron strings yet you are doomed to live with his mother too.

No. At least I don't think so. Certainly not their true nature, you can usually pick that up by how the treat family, friends, even pets. Just because they're a prick to someone that they don't like doesn't make them any less of a person.

Then you have to add in variables, bad day? Possibly, or maybe they have had a difficult week, month, perhaps it is their diet or even some bad weed. Too many variables to really make a solid distinction with a few actions.

The best example I can think of off the top of my head is road rage. It doesn't mean they are mean people, trust me, I know a few and they are actually pretty cool people. There are other extremes I'm sure, but that was the only one I could come up with at the moment.




None of what you listed is an excuse to treat someone badly. There are no excuses like that.

And road rage is an anger management issue. There is no need to act that badly while driving a two ton weapon.

How someone treats service people is always a good guage for me.
An attitude of gratitude rather than entitlement is something I
look for in anyone I would ever want to spend any time with.

Oh I so agree with this.

I am so embarrassed to be with someone who acts as though the waitress or waiter owes them something. And owes them something if they treat them badly.noway

And they don't want to tip either that really drives me

That must be a character trait, as I've seen in men who are homeless the entitlement air. Like we owe them. I just ignore them for the most part.

I didn't say it was an excuse, did I? No, I was putting variables up that people much like yourself do not take into account when placing such brash assumptions on someone's character. We all have bad days, and possibly we are catching people at their worst, a position they are not typically in.

Not everyone can deal with a terrible day in such an Angelic manner.

Having a bad day is still no excuse.

I did not say that I do not understand but one cannot make it okay either way.

To a certain extent; I think it takes some time to know a person's "true nature"...but yes how they treat those they have no reason to be nice is a indicator of one layer to their personality...flowerforyou

I agree that it can be an indictator of a persons true nature. (Been thinking about this a lot lately.)

If someone shows compassion and love to someone they don't know consistantly then it does show they are a compassionate and loving person.

If someone repeatedly shows disregard and hatred to those they don't know, then this may also indicate their true nature.
Oh, so true.
