I don't mean to interrupt because I do agree 'the nice guy' gets the rough end of the stick .. but the sacrifices of which you speak of ... the 'nice guy' makes those of their own choice and therefore they should accept the consequences of those choices. No one asks them to sacrifice; they do so because they care so damn much.
But seriously, no matter how many hard knocks the nice guys of this world get and no matter how cynical or jaded, they still care. Because it's a part of them, who they are.
I just think we're all damaged to begin with. Sorry but that's the absolute truth of how I feel about people. It's what makes us human. It's what gives us compassion and makes us feel - the broken parts of us that understand and know pain. BUT yes some know and empathise more, are more caring, than others who are looking out for number one only.

Considering I'm not much of a nice guy, this conversations is highly interesting :D
