Niceness

In niceness one treats all men and women the same way; There is a professional distance to be kept in his role as a fellow human being. In niceness there is no allowance, no consideration to the various possible kinds of response that you could get from the other party. Thus, a person who speaks out of niceness speaks not to one person, but to an undifferentiated crowd of platonic Mankind. This is why we are not always nice to our closest friends.
