When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them?' 'You wouldn't want to. That's what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad.

About This Quote

This quote is really personal because you will not understand it until you were in this situation. You know what is bad, but doing good is something that you don't know. When someone is mean to you, it is hard to be good. But, when someone is nice to you, it is easy to be good.

It may sound stupid because you will think that it is one of the hardest things to do. However, if you want to be good, then just do it. Being mean to someone will not help you in any way and being nice will help you a lot because people will like you even more than before and they will be more willing to give things to you.
