- Nice lasts as long as they get their way
- Impatient and impulsive
- Lack of respect and courtesy
- Self-centered, ego-maniacal
- Narrow minded
The facade of nice is present only to get one's own way. Do not be fooled by the smile or immediate courtesy you're shown. Driving on the road is a prime example of the impatience and lack of courtesty we see from a lot of people. Impulsive behavior seems to stem from a combination of always getting what one wants and the need to compete with everyone else. Respect and courtesy are similar and if you're lacking in one, you're failing both. At that time, self-centered, ego-driven behavior dominates the personality. And as far as narrow mindedness goes, general lack of education and respect is at fault.
I don't think society wants to improve its behavior because it doesn't feel there's anything wrong. Today, people aren't shocked or outraged, they don't take a stance, and nor do they seem to really care. People drudge along, day to day, seemingly unaware of reality. Other than anger, society rarely shows emotion.
