You'll find op that many people speak from experience on this and the "Be kind" movement is often seen as a diversion tactic by those who are anything but.
Those who are already kind and considerate find this advice insulting and those who aren't can only maintain the facade for so long.

"Always be kind and respectful of others.
Just a thought..."
Does that include a little ‘tough love’ sometimes? letting people know something that could help them but that that might not want to hear? |

"Thanks for feedback...just what I predicted. "
I will always be kind and respectful to those that deserve it.
I'm guessing most people don't need to be told how to behave from a complete stranger. |

"I genuinely don't know what people mean when they tell me to be kind.
What does it mean to people?"
To me it means dint be unnecessary cruel or nasty about people.
The obvious ecample is the new health secretary, calling her out on her voting record is fine. The comments about her looks abd weight aren't |

You know when you tell kids... Dont be unkind...When they've said or done something unkind? ... Well.. The opposite of that.
Is there a universal definition of " being kind "? Since we can no longer rely on the EU guiding our lives... No... Not for us |

Ok. That I understand but why are people telling me to be kind a propos of nothing? I'm getting on with my day, suddenly I'm exhorted to be kind I haven't told anyone they shouldn't be health secretary, I've kicked no kittens. Have I to find someone to be kind to? |

It's possibly because it's bordering on gibberish as I shouldn't type without my glasses on   |

I don't know either and it's always baffled me.
I find sometimes be kind is used as a way of shutting people up if they disagree. |

"It troubles me that people need to be told to be kind. It can’t be that hard surely? "
I think the problem is often people don't need to be told to be kind. Some people feel if someone says something they don't like even if it isn't personal they will use #be kind. |

He's been doing a lot of proclaiming the last 24 hours... Maybe someone could sneak one in there. |

The thing is the majority of people are kind and respectful of others. The people who aren't kind and respectful aren't gonna suddenly start doing it because they've been told to. |
