Kindness isn't always the easiest route to go down. The world is full of injustice and things don't always go our way.  There are times when we are wrongly accused and all we want to do is fight so that we appear to be right. And in many cases, we should tactfully argue for what we believe, but in a lot of other scenarios, the best option is to act with kindness or even walk away. "Tenderness, and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution". (Kahlil Gebran - Lebanese-American writer, poet and philosopher).
