"Be kind" is not a complete thought. Be kind to who? And don't say "Be kind to everyone!🤗" Because it's not possible to be kind to everyone.
Mr. Rogers is often held up as the example of someone that was kind to everyone. But even he roasted racists! He was unsympathetic to bigots who wanted to hold on to America's tradition of segregation. Something, something, paradox of tolerance.
"Be kind" is often the coward's way out of speaking up for those that need defending.
