Yea, we sorta need some more clarification on what you mean when you stated:
. But as Kae already stated, essentially last shall be first and first shall be last. Sometimes when nice guys finish last it is because they don't play dirty like "bad guys" and follow the rules.why is it that nice guys always seem to finish last?

That reminds me of this thing I read on an AD. xD "If nice guys finish last, it's only because they stopped along the way to talk to people."
Or somefin' like that, lawl.

It's mostly an illusion, the people who are not nice guys give the appearance of "winning", but their lack of virtue kills whatever they "won" in their dealing with it.carneman wrote:why is it that nice guys always seem to finish last?

Maybe they aren't trying to win...?

so what happens to the middle man?
PostPosted: Sat Jul 08, 2006 6:31 pm
that is a good point to point out (excuse the pun). Also, it doesn't helo that quite a few of them like the shallow women/girls that many of my sex abhor. It's not that they don't win--they're running in the wrong direction some of the time.The Last Bard wrote:Maybe they aren't trying to win...?

That's exactly what I was going to quote. ^^

only in the short term, in the long run the nice guys are the happiest.

Yeah. I agree with Seppuku (and whoever else said it).
In the long run, the nice guys are almost certainly going to be happier.
Why? Because they did the right thing. And because what you do always catches up with you. Sometimes it doesn't until you die, but most of the time, yep, it's gonna catch you. What's that proverbs says? Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right. Something like that.
If you're a "on-nice" guy, sooner or later people are going to learn just how far they can trust you. (Not as far as they can throw you?) And things like that take awhile to live down.

I have yet to fully gather my thoughts on this enough to make an intelligent post, but for now I'll just say that maybe it's possible that the nice guys "finish last" because the Lord works a bit longer and harder in perfecting their character.
