Do you believe in kindness only when it's towards those whom you like or genuine towards all?

I believe in kindness towards all, with the exception of those that try to hurt me, even then I'll be kind if I can but some people mistake kindness for weakness.

I give advice to anyone on anything. It's up to them to take it or leave it.

I don't discriminate on who I give advice to.

Kindness is relative to what you are willing to give.

I have been known to give complete strangers over a hundred dollars in food as well. And told them don't worry about it. I could afford it then.

It's usually more towards those whom need it most, especially animals and the down trodden.

I believe a large majority of people are selective who they give it to, based on conditions or our own selfish preferences, which can make it more of a performative kindness aka manipulative.

@Magenta Thing about animals, they aren't inherently evil. They do not have the brain capacity to process evil. They have instincts and they act on those instincts. Some are wonderful and some are dangerous. And a lot of them are our food.

In America, (where the POOREST of the poor can come here, work hard and get rich) the downtrodden are there voluntarily.

Of course I know this, they do not have morals as (some) humans do.
But I have the most kindness aka compassion towards those whom suffer at the hand of man.

"Downtrodden" referring more to the abused and neglected.

Everyone is selective, but that doesn't mean they won't extend kindness to a stranger. Most people will not help someone that is known to be unworthy, and there are some very unworthy individuals in this world.

I'm selective

@faery That is an excellent way of putting it.
I'm unconditionally kind to animals and children everyone else I'm more selective about because not every human deserves it ...not sorry ...

I’m a firm believer in kindness, including random acts and random compliments.

Kindness is not easy and mostly it's taken for granted
So hubby said if I do the dishes he would make me coffee
But we all know what happ 😔

Towards all unless I've witnessed someone being mean to another & then when they need help, I'm not the one...
I'm kind to everyone until they give me a reason not to be.

@MsSwan same
Kindness shouldn't be conditioned. That talks about you as a person if you use it as a tool.
Magenta · F
@greensnacks Totally this.

I prefer towards all, but in today's society it's definitely a challenge.
I'm kind in general but I have a few exceptions who I don't extend my empathy to.
Child abusers . Pedophiles. Rapists . Anyone who harms animals and elderly people.

I am kind towards those who deserve it.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I believe in kindness toward all.*













Kindness toward all does not apply to those who are cruel to others for no discernible reason. People who wish to participate in "kindness for all" need to have the same attitude.
Allelse · 36-40, M
If somebody needs help I help them, but that's as far as it goes.

There is a difference between politeness and kindness.
It's a naturally trait one have.

That selective kindness is called manipulation

@LordShadowfire You mean to say, you avoid and keep the distance than faking kindness with those who are ill intended towards you?

I believe, we both saying the same thing. For instance, two folks don't like eachother but still pretending to be well wishper? That's manipulative
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Reflection2 Then everybody in polite society is manipulative.

For me it's situational.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
No. Kindness is about your attitude to the world. And what that says about you.😷

In other words, the question is really asking "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?"
