Game Theory has an interesting take on being Nice that I'd like to share. It's strange getting diplomatic advice from mathematicians, but I find their proof more convincing than many of the hypotheses and theories on behavior.
"Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it. I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass. It's always ugly - always! We can live with dignity - we can't die with it." - House, MD
