Do you think kindness is sign of weakness?

xixgun · M

Absolutely not and anyone who believes so is a fool.
A kind person can disembowel you just as quickly (if not faster) than an asshole, if you piss them off.

@DevilFox don't take sword when you can lift it with a rose

xixgun · M

@DevilFox Untrue.

Not at all. I feel kindness is a sign of courage and strength. It's very easy to put someone down or to be mean. Being supportive and kind to someone you don't know can be scary. But it just might be the best thing you can do for them.

I consider kindness the greatest currency to trade in.

DevilFox · 26-30, T

@Picklebobble2 why is that?

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

@DevilFox Because everybody benefits form it. All you have to do is genuinely show interest.

No. Sometimes the kindest thing that you can say to someone is [i]No.[/i] And you have to be strong enough to say it.

@monimathu It’s true.

It can be if you're overly kind but in general, no.

DevilFox · 26-30, T

@Carver why no?

Carver · 31-35, F

@DevilFox Why would it be? Being kind and courteous to others is just being friendly. I think kindness being associated with weakness if one is being overly kind by not standing up for themselves.

SW-User

No.. being rude and mean is. Anyone can be mean. Not many people can be kind

SW-User

No it's a sign of strength.

DevilFox · 26-30, T

@SW-User how so?

SW-User

@DevilFox it takes strength to be kind in this horrible world with horrible people.

TwiddlerofThumbs · F

No, but I have certainly experienced many people who do think this.

Mbingh01 · 61-69, F

Definitely not!

DevilFox · 26-30, T

@Mbingh01 can you explain?

Mbingh01 · 61-69, F

Be kind always, but not a doormat. Being kind makes us a better person.

SW-User

No its true strength.

DevilFox · 26-30, T

@SW-User how come?

SW-User

Because if you are strong and confident within yourself and like who you are its easier to have kindness and empathy for others also. You don’t have to be mean or nasty to feel better. That’s insecurity. @DevilFox
