As both my faithful readers know, I\u2019m usually into holidays, but I\u2019ve never celebrated this one. I think I know some nasty people, but to be sure I checked the dictionary \u2014 nasty is defined as\u201d<br \/>\n\u2022 Physically filthy; disgustingly unclean<br \/>\n\u2022 Offensive to taste or smell; nauseating<br \/>\n\u2022 Offensive; objectionable<br \/>\n\u2022 Vicious, spiteful or ugly<br \/>\n\u2022 Bad or hard to deal with, encounter, undergo, etc.<\/p>\n<p>So, based on that definition, I think I do know some nasty people. But I still don\u2019t know how to go about celebrating Be Nasty Day. Should you attempt to reform nasty people by turning the other cheek and being extra nice, or should you show everyone your nasty side? Maybe we should all just think of nasty things to say to people, like\u2026. I\u2019m not anti-social \u2014 I just don\u2019t like you, or something similar.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I\u2019ve decided, we don\u2019t need a day to be nasty &#8211; there\u2019s enough nastiness to go around every day.\u00a0So on this Be Nasty Day, I\u2019m choosing to celebrate it by being nicer to nasty people rather than being nasty for the day. I think Buddha said to be kind to unkind people; they need it the most!!<br \/>\n\u2014 30 \u2014<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be Nasty Day is celebrated every year on March 8.
