nice?

nice.

now in plain text it is hard to ascertain what I mean, so I will add that it means many things, but in my mind it sounds a way that when spoken is taken as sarcarstic. It was saoid in response to a cryptic message, I thought, "Nice." because it reminds me of how we were warned in a stake meeting not to let young women confess to us as leaders, they feel relieved cause they told someone and they may likely never remember it anymore, so it would not prick their heart to truly repent by confessing to one who is actually a judge of such infraction and able to truly grant forgiveness, and as I understood it, they would notproperly understand the atonement because they would assume they had experienced the peace that comes as a result of repenting, but they had not. That is how it seemed to me to tell someone a heart-felt thing in someone else's words. sure, the person knows and you sort of told, but not really, andso you did the difficult task without actually doing anything, nice.

I was thinking that was probably what previous generations thought about telling someone a thing over the phone versus in person, like It's a Wonderful Life where George talks to Zuzu's teacher's husband and tells him off on the phone opposed to meeting the fella in a,bar and getting his face smashed.

I am actually mentally comparing it alot to "Shadowlands" and it's recurring theme of firsthand experience versus knowimg a thing another means.
