I meant, as a general direction, does it pay to be a dick or does it pay to be a nice guy all your life?
But you make an excellent point - everything does always balance out in life...

The other, perhaps overlooked effect, is being able to look at yourself in the mirror everyday and KNOW you are a good person, that is also an important aspect to being nice, (though NOT a pushover)!

I don't care about that. I'm trying to maximize my output and income here - I could not care any less if I'm perceived as a nice guy or not. When I look in the mirror, I KNOW I am a good person. I can be mean in conversation, but I'm never one to backstab anyone or anything like that - if others have trouble seeing that, I won't go out of my way to make them see it.
