Being nice isnt worth it...

Have your parents taught you to be nice to everyone, especially to your friends? Well, mine have and I still follow it. But I am starting to believe that one should not be nice. Atleast not in Chennai, India or rather TO Indians.
I am an Indian and am proud of it. But though sad, I have to accept facts. Indians have got to be the most insensitive people in the whole world. Indians were known for their respect, gratitude, hospitability, noblity, God fearing and straight forward nice people in the world. But not any more. Atleast not any more to their own kind.
If you are nice, you are only taken advantage of and get hurt. Since I cannot generalise and India is the one place I have experianced it, I restrict this to India and Indians.
If you are nice to a stranger, you are immediately looked upon as someone who is going to try to cheat or con them.
If you are nice at work, to your colleagues and boss, you are immediately seen as a patsy or a doormat who would do all your bidding and still would accept it when they dont get a raise or a promotion.
If you are nice to someone in traffic and give them way, the person behind use scolds you using faul language and people in front of you take advantage of your action.
If you are nice to your enemies, there is something horribly wrong with you and you are beaten up.
If you are nice to your family, that is what you are supposed to do. You have to be nice. It is nothing more than the ordinary, it is your obligation to be nice to them. You have to be nice to your elders no matter what and how they behave.
If you are nice to your friends, they take you for granted. You are expected to be nice to them at all times, even if they stab you.
And all this is only for you. Others will not be nice and they are right in what they do.
While growing up, I was told and I grew up to belive that every action has a reaction and it will come back to you at some time. But off late I am starting to doubt it. Does someone who is doing something bad really affected by it? And does someone who is being nice really being happy?
People who go in the wrong way to get through traffic cause a traffic jam and inconvienience to everyone but gets to his destination faster than the guy who followed the rules and stood in line. If this is the case, then why should someone abide by the rules?
Why should someone be nice?
Why should someone do the right thing?
Being nice is misinterpreted as a sign of weakness in Indian community nowadays.
If you stand in a queue in a crowded counter, you are not smart enough to get your work done.
I have a headache and my whole body aches from fatigue and still I accompany my friend into a crowded mall to do her shopping. At the end of it, I get shouted at and scolded because I didnt spend time with her and she couldnt find the items she wanted to buy. I get shouted by her cos, I helped another friend with some shopping. I get scolded for being nice to people.
And I am expected to feel bad, sorry and to apologize for all this.
You will be beaten and eaten alive if you are nice to Indians. People in India dont know the meaning of being nice and considerate.
I completely loathe myself for having written something like this about my people, my country and go against my beliefs, but I have to face facts.
