Are you a giver or a taker?

from Lori 365'ish Hosted by Lori Putnam

I had an acquaintance tell me once that I was “too nice.” The context was that I was being too forgiving of someone who had been super ugly to me. The truth is, I just didn’t care. It wasn’t important enough to be upset for long. And it won’t be the worst thing in the world if my tombstone reads, “She was just too nice.” This is a public episode.
