I really wish people would stop bleating this at the end of their OPs. It's so bloody tedious.

They don’t mean be kind though, what they mean is be nice to me and tell me what I want to hear.

Yes, and often the kindest thing you can actually do is tell someone the truth no matter how unpalatable it may be to them or how much they don’t want to hear it.

In general I think the world needs more kindness to become a better place. However, it’s hard not to notice that the ones who demand that we ‘be kind’ quite often don’t deserve it.

The type of people who say “be kind” are the same people who post on Facebook community groups and start their post with “admins please delete if not allowed” and then go on to make a completely mundane post that’s perfectly in alignment with the purpose of the group.

Simpering simpletons who go through life trying to take up as little space as possible to appease the menfolk. They give the rest of us more confident and progressive women a bad name.

And they probably shop at B&M.
