Who can tell who is truly naughty and who is actually nice?

When you think about it, perspective is the only thing that keeps us labeled either naughty or nice. For example, if one were a villain, then being mean to someone would in fact, be considered "nice" by his standards. On the same strand, helping an old lady across the street would be deemed "naughty." Were the tables turned and Santa someone who prized these behaviors, what would the gifts he bring be? Would children receive foul tasting candy for Christmas gifts like sardine and dirt flavored jelly beans? Would women receive cockroach brooches rather than Kay's latest trend? In a world where nice is naughty and naughty is nice, giving would be shunned while shopping for oneself would be praised. Wait....isn't that what the latest Kohl's commercials are advertising now? I guess, in that case, I've been rather nice =)
