"Woe to you, if all men speak well of you."
I fall very often into the trap of trying to please everyone and be nice to everyone, but when you do that you are disingenuous to them and yourself. Justice and the truth can only be successfully brought to light when you stop trying to please and aim to be righteous. I probably sound retarded so I'll just send an excerpt of an Instagram post I saw today that perfectly explains this:
"C.S. Lewis warned us that being nice is not the same as being good.
It’s why in Narnia the Lion Aslan is never described as nice and is often described as “not a tame lion” as he isn’t very nice or overly pleasant. But he is good because he takes a firm and couragous stand against evil.
Lewis shows us here how sometimes the good thing to do is quite the opposite of the nice thing to do, because if you are nice to an evil person you allow their evil to continue. But if you are strong, brutish and stern like Aslan you can stop the evil — as he does with the evil white witch in Narnia."
