Main rule in life is "don't be a d#ck"

Be yourself, that's good enough. Don't try to be something you aren't, you'll never please anyone either way and the ones you end up pleasing will be because you're pretending to be something you aren't in nature, so it's better to stay true to yourself and be in peace with your conscience.

Be yourself, but be the best part of you

Of course, it's the logic that we want to be the best we can, but everyone has a good and bad side. I consider authenticity a good side, though.

Kill em
Kill with kindness

Personally I think kindness starts with empathy, so a good start would be trying to think of how your words and actions make other people feel and choose words and actions that cause happiness rather than harm.

Always try to understand people's reasons and motivation before judging.

It doesn't. Empathy is your sensing capability of knowing the desires and intents of others. A hooded man slowly stalks you- You use empathy to know it's probably not the best idea to approach him.

Some people might have malevolent intents, in which case if empathy equals kindness, then you will use it to help him 'in kindness' which is ultimately destructive for someone else.

You then contradict empathy with how to go about being kind, by focusing on what you yourself should say so it doesn't come along harmful, when empathy would be to know what the other person wants to hear, not making yourself look innocent. Kind of backwards because that's just being self-centered.

Taking it out of context is also a relatively big difference. I did word it poorly though, but i think we both understand what i'm trying to say regardless, and i also understand that what you were trying to say in the first place was out of benevolence, but i also want to show you a different, more objective perspective that you probably never considered.

Besides, are you not going to pick on anything else i said? You basically picked my poorest and most weak point that almost doesn't even matter compared to the rest i said, specifically the most important is the last paragraph.

hug yourself,

you're wonderful.

opposite realm of the kindness trait have alignment within malevolence and cruelty.
if you do not actively hate or harm, you are not malevolent.
if you do not act inhuman, brutal, barbaric, or harsh, you are not cruel.

if a portion of your consciousness aligns with those descriptions..
do not worry, all experiences in life are temporary.
and you will attain kindness once again.
