3wI think too often the concept of kindness gets confused with niceness. Niceness can be disingenuous, avoids confronting crucial but uncomfortable topics, and is very self-sacrificing. Kindness requires strength - to stand up for what is right, to hold people to account, and to practice kindness to yourself, holding firm to your values and boundaries.
