The difference between being nice and being kind

The podcast explores the distinction between being nice and being kind. Being nice is often driven by a fear of upsetting others and a desire to be seen as a good person. It can lead to rigid behavior, anxiety, and a lack of authenticity. On the other hand, being kind comes from genuine care and empathy for others. It allows for flexibility and wisdom in different situations. The key to discerning between the two is examining the underlying motives and considering whether it aligns with personal values and authentic expression.
