The funny thing about the way you treat others is that at times people never seem to be content with it, no matter what. There have been times when I haven't been as nice as I should be to people and received complaints. But there have also been other times when I've gone above and beyond to be nice, yet people either don't appreciate it or question my intentions. I find this to be beyond confusing and annoying.
Things such as this leave me questioning what people actually want from me, because nothing seems to make anyone happy.
Then I realised, why bother trying to please mere mortals when the only being I should be concerned with trying to please is the Father Lord God Almighty.
Even Jesus was nice to those who hated him. So no matter how people respond to your kindness, I encourage everyone to continue to be kind regardless.
This is why I took it upon myself to be nice because it will benefit me more. I'm even tying to be nice 24/7.
Its almost self rewarding when you're nice just because...it's nice to be nice. Most importantly it will benefit you more in the long run, you learn to humble yourself and perform good deeds without any requests. And yes, eventually you will be rewarded.
Ephesians 4:32 ''Be kind and compassionate to one another"; just like how this verse doesn't give us any conditions, we should act kindly without any strings attached.
