Advice
There is no right or wrong advice. There are only advice to push us towords somewhere. The question is, will be there a golden mean.
"Be kind with people", notably, seems to be one-size-fits-all advice. And then it turns out that it doesn't fit to victimes of domestic abuse which mental now's broken.
"Strike as soon as you see one's weakness" seems to be disgusting and destructive before it reveals it was an advice to a boxer from his coach before fighting. Surely better wording could be used to define it, but that's a matter for a separate talk.
There is no bad or good, right or wrong, only a shining standart in between, a sense of proportion, neutrality. So, we all get around in direction of this standart. At different path.
And as you understand, in different directions.
