RE: The Falsehood of Empathy and Compassion

Great points! In a similar vein, the value of kindness is often applied (or misapplied) in the same way. I've definitely seen people withhold necessary critical feedback (which can absolutely be delivered with kindness) in the workplace because they felt it'd make the person feel bad— only to have that person continue to not improve. In that case, what they've done isn't an act of kindness at all.

Totally agree there -- I've seen that before too! One would argue that it isn't kindness withholding such feedback! :)
