Being kind doesn't mean being weak or a fool

In this world, when the majority have a mind filled with greed, jealousy, and many other negative traits, sometimes it becomes really hard to know whom to trust and whom not to. It seems like such people know the tricks that they use us when we are in a state of high emotions and try to manipulate us. And that's how we fall into traps without using our minds.

But we should learn from such experiences. Otherwise, it would be foolishness. It hurts to see when we have so much to share but we can't because we have no idea what's in their mind.

Nowadays goodness is rare. Respect and value such people.

What has been expressed in this thread is hundred percent true. Kind, innocent, and generous people are being exploited by greedy and jealous people. Such people wait for the right time to manipulate as innocent people are deceived very easily. Before helping others it is always better to think twice and do the needful.
Innocent and kind people should never share the details of our personal life with such people. They might be trapped because of their weakness to help others.

I agree that being kind or empathetic has its drawbacks. But it can be overcome if one is prudent enough to know and draw limits. One should be kind and one should be empathetic too but one must also have proper control over your emotions. You must not allow yourself to be deceived by someone. I have observed that people who know that they are basically kindhearted and feel for others are generally conscious and do not let in easily to tears. Not that they will not help but they will surely ensure that they are helping the right person. Isolated incidents of cheating might occur but they still take it in stride and forget about it. So, I think, being kind or empathetic is not a sign of being foolish or weak but of being wise and strong.

Kindness is nothing to do with weakness or foolishness. If somebody thinks like that I will say that they are mistaken. All kinds of people can't get cheated easily. At the same time, there are people who will cheat any person irrespective of kind or unkind.
There may be some people who want to take advantage of the weakness of the other person. But all kinds of people are not weak. I know a person who was very rich and used to be very kind and used to help people when there was a need. At the same time, he used to be very tough with people who were trying to take advantage of his kindness of that person. He used to say no to such people.
When we donate something to others also we should see whether the money we are donating will be utilised properly for a noble cause.

Kindness is a great quality. This world is a beautiful place just because there are some kind hearted people around. They are doing a great service to the fellow human beings. They are doing such a good thing without expecting anything in return does not mean that they are foolish and doing some mistake. Actually they are the wiser lot and know very well as what they are doing.
There are some crooked people in this world who do not require any help but take advantage of the simplicity of the kind hearted people by getting all sorts of help from them. The kind people are aware of that but due to their greatness do not mind these small things.

Knowledge is power.

When you have so much to share, share it and there shouldn't be any problem. If you wish to spread the knowledge you are welcome to share it with anyone you wish. Whether to utilize it or not is entirely up to the person acquiring the knowledge. Now, if you wish to share so many personal details or whatever is coming to your mind then you must have to be careful. You just cannot share them the very next day after meeting a person. It takes some time to develop that kind of association through which things can be shared. One interesting point is mentioned in the thread about being manipulated when people are emotional. Yes, when people are too emotional their emotion takes over and controls them as the sense of presence is lost when they become emotional. It doesn't depend on your strength or kindness and a physically strong person will be affected in the same way.

Unless your emotion is under your control you will be controlled by your emotions through various tricks and opportunists will find it easier to control you.

There are people having kind hearted and equally intelligent in their job performance and other areas also. So it cannot be construed in that way that kind hearted people are foolish and sentimental. Of course, human behaviour is changing for the worst and there are people around us trying to get us our personal details to be used for their own benefits. Hence it is always better to be cautious to share our weaknesses or personal details with them. We should talk in length regarding the other aspects such as science, technology and other current affairs or any other topics related to knowledge to pass our times with them. Apart from it, we too, should not expect that they would divulge their personal details to us in course of meeting.

Indeed. Being empathetic is often considered as being weak. Empathy and kindness are very important emotions and those who inhibit these qualities have emotional intelligence far better than others. In today's world being cold and rude is considered as cool and ideal but we often forget that humans are meant to work together which is why kindness is necessary for the world to run. Someone who is kind and considerate towards others is often deemed as too weak or soft. However, humans are inevitably kind beings, it's our greed that makes us so selfish and unkind. As the years pass by, it's expected that kindness will become rarer and rarer. But we need to keep it alive by teaching the younger generation to be empathetic towards others. Helping others in any way you can is the first step. Kindness should never be considered as a weakness, it's a weapon only the strongest warrior has.

Believe in the existence of God the superpower.
