Can't we just be nice?

In a recently posted AP news article, I read:

"Long before he boiled over, Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui was picked on, pushed around and laughed at over his shyness and the strange way he talked when he was a schoolboy in the Washington suburbs, former classmates say."

It sounds so simple, but why can't people just be nice?? As a young child, my father would always refer to the golden rule - a sensibility shared by MANY around the globe.

Sure, we all have bad moods, bad days... but I'm going to try to stay mindful of being a little more golden in my every day actions, deeds, words, and even thoughts.
