I see signs everywhere, stickers, t-shirts, YouTubers saying at the end of their videos "be kind" "kindness is everything". Kindness is overrated. What they mean when they say this is don't be confrontational, don't be assertive, succumb. It encourages weakness. Strength should be the priority.

The problem with kindness is excessive empathy. Kindness is giving a man a fish, but doing good is teaching a man to fish.
Hurt them or yourself a little now so that you can secure a better future where you/they aren't reliant on handouts to solve their problems. You see this a lot with helicopter/bulldozer parents who are so 'kind' to their children that they never grow and fail to become functioning adults.
