Kindness: A Professionally and Personally Strength or Weakness?

Kindness, when sensibly used, reveals true strength and great support to those less fortunate. However, when shown in wrong instances or to the wrong individuals, it not only highlights your weakness but may also encourage wrongdoings in others, causing disrespect and damaging situations that might be irreversible.

Wrongly Placed Trust and Kindness: A Source of Misery

Wrongly placed trust and confidence in unscrupulous individuals, combined with misplaced kindness, can bring misery in both professional and personal matters. Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution and discernment in our acts of kindness.

Examples of Appropriate and Inappropriate Acts of Kindness

1. Helping Financially Distressed Neighbors or Family Members: If you find your nearest and dearest in financial or health trouble, and you are in a better position to help, show kindness. This will not only benefit them, but it will also elevate you in your surroundings, leading to real satisfaction. This act indicates your greatness at a crucial moment.

2. Helping a Habitual Drunkard: This act of kindness serves as a regular source of financial drain and encourages him to destroy his own life and family. Being kind here is your weakness, misplaced faith in a person who can't be changed, and you unintentionally contribute to his downfall.

3. Supporting People in Distress During Natural Disasters: Kindness shown to those affected by natural disasters goes a long way in restoring their confidence and providing timely help to the distressed.

4. Professional Context: If you are too liberal or kind to the wrong people or in the wrong situations, your profession may not yield good results. Being overly kind can mistakenly lead others to believe you are a spendthrift or have hidden traits of deception or manipulation.

Conclusion: The Art of Kindness

The liberal use of kindness in wrong places or people endangers your self-esteem if you do not use discretion. It may encourage unscrupulous individuals to take advantage of your kindness. However, if well-utilized, kindness can enhance your strength and greatness.
