is it worth keeping everyone happy

at the onset let me put it very straight..
i have this opinion..

"There is only so much you can do for people, beyond that its thank you".

now i pretty much live by that, except for the extraordinary..(rare cases to say the least)... just that it has been brought to my notice these last few days that i come across as a pretty arrogant person.. and maybe not liked too much..
on the brighter side.. i dont have to mix around with a 100 ppl now..

but still.. i was contemplating last night.. do i need to change.. i mean ppl dont like calling a spade a spade// if u say things in black and white u r not a very good person.. be diplomatic and all..

well i have anyways reduced my response to ppl a lot over the last 6 months or so.. and am trying to reduce it further..

y am i doing this.. is probably because ppl are not worth it and not so much that i change my image..

but seriously IS IT WORTH KEEPING EVERYONE HAPPY?? i mean who dont even mean anything to u..
i am not saying go and take their case or something.. but just indifferent.. live and let live.. dont ppl get this simple funda..

if by making everyone happy you mean doing what they want you to do and behaving how they want you to behave then i think there is only one reply....ask them to stick it....but if by happy we mean not offending them or being blatantly rude (even if they are dead wrong) i think basic garden variety consideration never did anyone any harm....it might be a bit hypocritical...but then all "everyone"s are not important and dont matter...and also all of us are vain and would not like to be in "eveyone"'s shoes, being ignored and all....so a bit of humouring somebody will only keep trivial things from mounting and you'l do yourself a favour by saving your brain energy!!
