Would you ever kill someone with kindness”?

[Abbycado]

If you are not familiar with the expression, it means to dump loads of kindness on someone who has wronged you.

Example: You had a bully growing up. If you saw them today, would you kill them with kindness?

[DJB72]

The other meaning is as a parent you protect them, give them everything and shield them from consequences to be "kind" to the child. The result is an adolescent who is incapable of handling the real world and an adult that can't define what a woman is and is perfectly ok with mutilation of the children they don't dismember in utero.

Technically the next generation is the one you kill.

And yes, I'm conservative. Yes, I'm a Christian. Yes, I talk out of my experience. Yes, I'm a parent.

My experience includes seeing my brother died in a road accident 40 years ago and proving statistically that in my family CPR is only effective 50% of the time. I survived in 2020. My wife died in October last year.

[ProbablyClueless]

I guess it depends on how they approached me, but I generally do my best to be kind to everyone.

[Abbycado]

Indeed.

[PeachyPie93]

I did once with a guy who lived on my street my friends were his friend but he was always mean to me and once even threw coke on me.. I just kept being nice to him since the all really liked him and one day I let him ride my new bike and then he was so nice to me after that offering me food and always wanting to hangout with me. SO it worked out nice lol.

[Apple1996]

Yep this is my mom's favorite saying. When I was growing up she always told me to kill em with kindness lol

[Abbycado]

It is such a mom saying, isn't it? XD

[DishLady]

Like in the Selina Gomez song?

(Yes. But the person has to be worth the effort.)

[Circushowcowboy]

That’s how I’ll get you and your bully crew back

[Abbycado]

Aww, hi my little cherub.

[Circushowcowboy]

Cherub? 😂

[Abbycado]

I'm glad you are going to kill us with kindness instead of bully us.

@Valdemort @sleepinghazard

[Abbycado]

You are such a sweetheart. 💕

[Valdemort]

A sweetie pie you are @Circushowcowboy! Don't hurt yourself trying to carry all that kindness though!

[Circushowcowboy]

😂😂😂

[Abbycado]

Isn't he precious 😍

[Still-alive]

Thats how my role model Mr Rogers rolled! kindness was his overall dna!

[exitseven]

Nah, if I were to face a bully today I would not kill him with kindness or anything else. I would hurt him pretty bad I imagine even safter all these years.

[Lynx122]

Nah I like to save my effort and positivity for people I like :)

[Sinthia99]

I do this with my cousin who is a B all the time hahah

[Abbycado]

Good that you are the bigger person.

[Sinthia99]

Well in that sense of the term at least haha

[Abbycado]

Well, if it is any consolation, you are probably a giant compared to @Circushowcowboy

That should make you feel better. Although, while small, he is a big bully.

[Circushowcowboy]

I am not the bully! Lols

[Abbycado]

@Sinthia99 see? He can't even say that with a straight face. "Lols" 🙄

[Sinthia99]

Hahaha yea I am a giant to him!

He should really go pick on someone his own size! 😝

[electromagnetic]

I owe one nothing therefore I don’t see the point in being kind to someone undeserving

[Caroline91]

Kinda depends on what day of the week it is and which side of the bed I got up on.

[LiamJHayden]

I tend to be kind and understanding to people who are inconsiderate towards me.

[Massageman]

I actually tried that very scenario. The individual is now out of my life due to his twisted assumptions and excess self-importance.

[BoobMan]

Call me old fashioned, but my preferred method of killing someone is with repeated blunt force trauma.

[douride2]

I have done it. Someone was trying to get me upset. Well it didn't work out. But the nicer I was to them the madder they got. I loved it.

[Grond21]

I hope I would be able to, but I'm not sure I have it in me. More likely I would just walk away and never see them again

[Caroline91]

Really? Hmmm... You've nearly killed me... lol

[Grond21]

Starfish friends are an exception. I like to keep them on the edge of dying from kindness

[Caroline91]

And you would know how often I am on edge, too!

[Grond21]

Oh yes. It must be almost continually. Otherwise is it truly kind starfish edging?

[Jennz6]

I’m not sure, I have been bullied, but I don’t know if I can be so kind to them. I know that the Bible says that I should.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I take whatever demeanor/treatment they give me, double it, and give that to them

[LiamS95]

Keep your friends/loved ones close but keep your enemies closer is a realistic viewpoint but slightly similar to killing with kindness.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope im not that guy I'm gonna deal with you however you deal with me. If your nice to me I'll be nice to you but if you come at me crazy then I'm gonna be crazier!!!

[WonderingManII]

I think it would fun, to watch an enemy die from kindness. lol

[Xawyx-2]

Well, sometimes I'm too kind, even to people who wronged me :/

[slatyb]

No, it does not work and will not change their treatment of you. They will just laugh at you for being so obsequious.

[Wiredone]

Yes. I love rubbing kindness in their faces like it was mud

[Passerby2]

maybe. some people have to be killed with meanness

[Shiprex]

It's not easy to do but I reckon most people would be able to know when to draw the line at being overwhelming

[beefcakebradybatson]

That's part of being a good boyfriend and comes before you lay the boy's club on her !!!

[justabuddy]

Hmmm... bruse then with kindness maybe.

[Abbycado]

XD okay fair enough

[MrZameer]

I can't do it, it's totally against my nature

[blackeagle007]

It can be hard depending on circumstances

[Connie88]

Yes plus it pisses them off even more.

[Godihateyou]

I have an ax named Kindness. Yes I would.

[eagle1951]

would and have
