"When driving and seeing people hitchhiking it is crucial to not pick them up when there is no urgency. Why? Well, people are attracted to each other and moreover to the current development stage they are at - e.g. their current needs or issues. Forcing yourself to be nice would mean that the person who would have connected with him cannot connect now since you, while not really having the connection mentally, did a physical thing just to be nice, which you may not like at all. This does not imply when you feel that the person is either cold, worried or you know that picking them up might actually do them more good than bad. How can you tell? Well, instead of being busy every moment possible, open yourself up and train your sensitivity to react more and understand the difference between energies and different situations and people."

"I´ve never cared for forced niceness which I see too much of. On the other side it is good when otherwise mean people, instead of being mean, are at least nice by forcing themselves, but in the long run that might not eliminate the issues." Raimo Pregel
