yes, you should be kind. you should be considerate and giving and caring and loving and nice to everyone you meet. however, when it gets to a point that people are not reciprocating your generousity and are taking advantage of your sweetness, you no longer have to treat them kindly. you can be a good person and say no to people doing you wrong. you should be kind, but you also should stick up for yourself in situations of injustice.
“Do you honestly think that I care about you fucking someone else? If we’re not together, I don’t expect you to have taken some vow of celibacy. It’s just that, when I see someone look at you the way I used to look at you, I fucking hate that. It makes me sick to my stomach.””— Karen, Californication
