    I went down to the pub last night here in Leeds to see some band play. They were called Fatchops and were great. Outside some Sikh guy was being quite contentious about his beliefs and was getting quite aggro. He wanted to buy everyone tequila and kept telling us how much money he'd spent. A proper dick yeah? After chatting to him he admitted his wife died 3 months ago and he was a mess so I chatting a bit about it and gave him a lift home. There's always a reason why people are being angry or frustrated, and sadly for this guy his life was falling apart a day at a time.

    Happy Friday guys. x

    • Definitely something that has sunk in to me lately. The only reason anyone is ever nasty or horrible is because they're in pain and have been hurt themselvesset
    • Certainly helps you empathise with everyone on an equal playing field, I think. Look how rescue dogs behave... They just need a bit of love.set
    • For sure man. It's not so hard to be nice, but it's easy to lose your way to anger and depression.Ianbolton

    • It’s hard to be nice. Selfless behavior is often quite the opposite. Agree with the rest though.imbecile
