People Are NICE, REALLY!!! 

I truly believe that most people around the whole wide world are nice. 

For example, when I hitchhiked across America (circa 1971), I had no money, whatsoever, and still accomplished my trip through Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri, through the amazing kindness of ordinary folks. 

"Of course you did," you say, so sarcastically. Times were gentler. Peace and love permeated the hippy atmosphere, circa 1971.

Okay. Let's bring it on down to 2021. Every time I walk Chevy-dog, the vast majority of my neighbors are eager to pet Chevy, share local gossip, stop their vehicles so we can cross the streets, and never act rude and nasty.

Only about 1% ignore us completely, which totally blows our minds, because Chevy thinks EVERYONE should pet him, and looks up at me, like, "what gives, dad?"

With all these facts in your brain, don't you think peoples EVERYWHERE, are similarly nice? 

I think so. 

Their leaders might be nasty wasty and cruel, but the common folk are pretty nice, like here in the USA.

I have really cool YouTube friends from Greece, France, England, Scotland, the 4 corners of the world, even CALIFORNIA, and they are all very sweet souls. 

In addition, when I watch videos of total strangers from across the globe, they too seem like good people.

So why the wars and hate and violence? 

I believe it's because a tiny minority of mean men, and women (don't wanna discriminate against gals), convince nice people to follow them into paths of darkness, paved by the devil himself!!

On the other hand, I may be completely off base, which would be nothing new.

All I know is the vast majority of individuals are basically nice, and that is happifying to me!
