How does someone become kind?

''I'm sad''
''Why?''
''I have no sugar''
''Here, have some''
''Yay, thank you!''

This scenario tells almost everything. The right thing would be to deny them of sugar and explain how they're better with a smaller amount, which i stated earlier can be taken out by the addicted person as aggression depending on how emotionally affected they are by it. It also shows you how deluded it can be. Hurray, i gave sugar, i made someone happy. I'm helping, right?

I know what you truly mean, and i understand what you're saying. It does not specifically tie to the scenario i gave you, however this is more about how you apply it, if not, then you would be saying nothing matters because everything is but a perception.

Thus, i agree with you, but i want you to understand specifically what i am saying to you right now. It is important to understand why even something that comes from kind intents, can be hurtful.

There may not be a right or wrong, but there is a better and worse. Giving the sugar is, in my opinion, much worse you see. Hence, someone giving another person sugar would in my opinion be deluded if they believe it was kind. You can still apply your same argument, but it will not change the fact that is unhealthy regardless.

Why would you not give him sugar? If you have something that you've developed or are skilled in you're kind of obligated to give tips to those wanting to get better. I should probably rephrase since I feel like that was stated wrong. Here it goes, you should help that person get his own sugar. In this scenario it would be best to help him work and get sugar or to give him some sugar and help him reproduce that sugar. Just like if it was a video on growing hair. If that person has results you'll want to see his/her results and get them you'll want to learn how they did it even if they're not sure themselves.

You're making up a hidden meaning. I am talking about literal sugar.
''Kind isn't genuine. Kind isn't over rated. So this brings up how does someone become kind?''

- I don't think you know what genuine really means. By adding genuine in to this context, you are implying that people by nature aren't genuine, which means everybody in the world by a standard are liars, lying to everybody about everything and everyone, and never truly mean anything.

''Kind is subjective to each individual I'm sure of that''

-Kindness and evil does not exist (I can't 1000% confirm this though, but try to prove me wrong). You can't smell kindness, or touch evil. They are created by us as a social construct to serve its purpose of definition and recognition of the certain behaviours they represent.

- Whether something is kind or evil is, obviously, subjective. How each individual defines it depends on moral standards and values, as well as partially, priorities, and empathic and sympathic development. You could go as far as to say it is connected to intelligence to a certain degree, considering that many people may not often know what's best for them, and thus reference a kind action as something malevolent (because the action did not emotionally please them), although you may argue this comes from strong sympathy, in which case i wouldn't really refute you either.

I'd like to add slightly further on what Sasuke said:

- That it comes down to how well you are at resisting arguments is wrong. Resisting arguments has more to do with you not letting yourself be emotionally affected by critique. You then explain in your scenario ad hominems, which has nothing to do with arguments, but personal attacks, which goes back to having to do with how much you let yourself be emotionally affected by things.

- You 'resisting' to answer back in ad hominem is not kindness. That is being passive. If you're not doing anything, then you're not being kind nor evil. You just are. It implies that you say ''saying nothing in this situation is better than anything'', which perhaps is true, but that is a logical fallacy when applied to it being suggested as kind.
