Why is being nice so hard?

Seriously, think about the last time you wanted to be nice to a sibling, but you couldn't do it. You just wanted to be an asshole instead, come on admit it, shit, I'll say it right now...Sometimes its hard for me to be nice, mostly with my siblings in particular. I don't know why this is though. Being an asshole is easy, I know a lot of you will agree with me, go head deny it, but in your head you know I'm right, even if it's just you being an asshole for a short period of time, or seldom ever. You're still an asshole so just admit it! Why does it take so much to be nice or want to be nice to someone, or do a good thing. Dropping a dollar or two into the donation thingy, come on, were like oh no way I'm poor myself, or something stupid along those lines...Hmm are you that poor? Are you starving for days at a time between meals? Are you shivering your ass off from lack of clothes or a warm place to live? Yeah, I didn't think so. So why? Are we so caught up with ourselves that we can't even do simple favors for friends anymore. Complaining to pick up a friend for band practice, being an asshole about it, bitching about how you have to pick up your friend, thats fucked up! Maybe in all that time you were bitching you could have just picked up your friend and had it done and out of the way. That, by the way, is a real example taken from one of my friends earlier.

Another example is one of my brothers, he is just an asshole all around. He only thinks about himself and could care less how good he could be to others. He acts as if it doesn't concern him then why should he care, why should he care to help someone else out, but expects the world to stop when he needs help. This I hate soooo much, not just from him but others like him. It's like we have enough hate and anger in the world already why keep it in our daily lives.

Relationships are another example, I hate how selfish some relationships can be. I cant even think of any damn examples but I'm sure you can fill in the blanks. Even in people passing, people always say, "I wish I could have spent more time with them." or "I don't want him to die." These may seem like normal things to say, and they very well may be, but, for me it is just very selfish of someone to say. Wanting to keep them alive because YOU this and YOU that, we can't be so selfish and keep people when it is there time to pass, or leave, not even in death either, I'm talking now about in any situation. It is too much of a world of ME. I want a world of WE, it makes me sad that more people don't have the heart to care for anything really other than themselves. I won't lie I can be very selfish at times myself, and very much an asshole, but for the most part, I feel I have a good heart and if you know me personally I think you would see that. Lets stop being assholes.
