Do not be kind to everyone ( FT JORDAN PETERSON )

In a world that often champions kindness, the phrase "Do not be kind" might seem counterintuitive. However, this perspective invites us to reconsider what true kindness means. Sometimes, excessive kindness can mask authenticity and create unhealthy dynamics. For instance, always putting others first may lead to neglecting your own needs, fostering resentment rather than genuine connection.

Moreover, being overly kind can enable harmful behaviors, allowing people to take advantage of goodwill. It may prevent necessary confrontation or honest feedback, ultimately stunting personal growth and mutual respect. Instead of blind kindness, we should aim for a balance—compassion that respects boundaries and encourages accountability.

In this video, we'll explore the complexities of kindness, why sometimes it’s okay to prioritize yourself, and how to cultivate a more meaningful, honest approach to relationships. Join us as we challenge the traditional notion of kindness and delve into the importance of authenticity, boundaries, and emotional health.
