Hello, Ms. Wise,

I feel like I need to make everyone happy all the time. So I always try to be nice to others. The problem is that it’s just too much pressure. Trying to be a nice person all the time really stresses me out.

Dear Unhappy Nice,

It’s great that you want to be kind. But don’t worry too much about pleasing others. You cannot make EVERYONE happy. Instead, focus on yourself and what makes YOU happy. When you do, life begins to feel lighter. If you still want to be kind to others, choose to be kind to the people who truly matter to you. Spend time with people who like you just as you are. But remember that the most important thing is to love yourself.

There is a cool AI tool called ToxMod. It listens when people talk. If someone says mean words, it notices them right away. It saves the words and tells the game managers. In the past, players had to report mean people.  Now, ToxMod can catch them without help. It checks if the words are really bad. It looks at the whole conversation, not just one word.  So if you say “Shoot!” in a game by mistake, it’s okay. However, if you say it on purpose, you can be reported. ToxMod finds words that are too rude or harmful. It helps stop people from saying hurtful things. This AI tool is now used in many online games. Some games in Korea and other countries use it, too. It keeps games fun, kind, and safe for everyone!

A long time ago, there was a man named Procrustes. He had a small inn where travelers could rest for the night. But Procrustes had a terrible secret. He was a robber who wanted to steal from his guests. He told guests they could sleep in a “special” bed. But if someone was too tall, he cut off their legs. If they were too short, he stretched them. No one ever left his inn again.

One day, a brave hero named Theseus arrived. Procrustes invited him to stay, but Theseus knew his trick.

“Let me see if your special bed fits me,” Theseus said.

As Procrustes bent down to check, Theseus grabbed him and threw him onto it! Procrustes was too big. Theseus treated him the same way he treated others. That was the end of Procrustes.
