God's system of Righteousness (Importance of being nice)
Righteous: Moral, virtuous, genuine, upright, ethical, considerate
Nice: kind, friendly, good-doing, Loving, caring, fair, considerate, virtuous
Many people might not know that the lord God Almighty has set up a
system of reward for being nice and righteous in general. This system is mercy and goodness from the lord God almighty because it has Many benefits!
(it is a system, because when God uses the word "kazalik-كذلك"('like this') the action stated becomes a reoccuring system)
First to state is that God states that he took the attribute of being merciful (Quran 6:54) and being nice/righteous is an action of being merciful. God thus advises us to be nice/righteous as he is to us, and he gave as the lesson of what happens when we abuse his righteousness. The example is 'Qaroon' who abused God's righteousness and grace that he bestowed unto him in 28:77)
This is why God commands us to be/act nice (2:195) and retaliate evil with good (13:22). Also to say in retaliation what is better/nicer (17:53 & 23:96) so much so that your enemy might become your own friend! (41:34)
Moreover, God advises us to retaliate with a better/same salutation (4:86), and of course the apparent be nice to the parents (29:8 )
The Lord God uses the root word
H-S-N 194 times throughout the Quran. The root conveys a positive connotation to mean Nice, good, righteous, better, best etc, source:

his/her reward is guaranteed and he/she has nothing to fear or grieve for (2:112)

he/she has grasped onto the strongest bond (31:22)
