[Zam_Olyas]

Do you think kindness is taken as weakness?

i feel that kindness is the most underated human trait

a little kndness goes a long way

thanks! for posting zam.......................take good care

we are all weak admitting so gives a certain strength

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

Yes, doesn't mean you should give any attention to people who take it as a weakness.

 

[SafeBet]

You mean in forums or in general?

 

[airstream]

As to forum, I don't think so. There are many posters who handle any things very kindly&peacefully like Jens, Afrank or Vino attacks everyone. These guys is a forum driving force actually.

As to real life, probably yes. Though person can be very gentle, even sensitive to others but at the same time very self-rigorous and determined. It is my ideal probably.

I think there's a huge different between being kind and letting everyone walk over you.

I hope I'm the first, not the last!

Some people do interpret it as a weakness, but I disagree. Kindness is completely separate from being easy-manipulated. There is a huge difference between doing good things for others because you want to do it for them and doing good things for others because they want you to do it for them. I don't think the distinction is made explicitly very often, but I think people generally have a concept of both and understand the difference.

 

[RedheadDane]

I'll actually go so far as to say that the ability to show kindness can be a strength!

No because I believe that we have to have a strong personality in order to be kind and gentle in our world..

 

[insideout leadout]

If kindness inhibits honesty too much I would say it's a weakness.

Yeup. It takes a lot more self control to be kind in situations that stir anger or emotions that tend to generate unkind behavior.

Pretty much whatever is in someone's heart eventually comes out the mouth. Or, what comes out the mouth is a reflection of what's in someone's heart.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

In real life. Thanks all for the reply so far.

I don't know how to answer that. What type of kindness (as opposed to something like common courtesy), and toward what individual? A perfect stranger IRL? Your boss? Family and/or friends? Somebody on the internet?

Each situation/individual will probably come out with a different answer as far as I'm concerned, anyway.

yesterday i was happy to help a stranger catch their errant dog

today i carefully lifted a distressed spider out of the dogs water bowl

join me in random acts of kindness......................it will make the world

a better place!

Telling us how kind you are reflects ego more than altruism. But no matter the motive your helpful acts will indeed make the world better, keep it up.
