Episode 283: Being kind is not being nice
Summary
Kindness is actually a fairly complicated construct. It is not synonymous with being nice. Being nice isn’t always kind, and being kind isn’t always nice. The issue is that there are two faces of kindness, and one without the other is pathological. In this episode, I use concrete examples to demonstrate how kindness without loving honesty is typically a form of enabling that does more harm than good.
