First, it is the very glue of civilization that we all try to help each other survive.
Second, kindness towards yourself is important or you won't survive into adulthood.
What does kindness of yourself mean?
Don't blame yourself for things that you are not responsible for.
For example, parents and friends might try to load you down with impossible requests and demands and if you follow these demands it might lead to your untimely demise.
It isn't that they are wrong for themselves to do this. It's just that your needs are NOT your parents and friends needs in order for you to stay alive ongoing.
I ran into this myself where I needed to redesign myself in my 20s so I could even live past 25 years of age.
So, learning how important it is to be kind to yourself first is often a matter of life or death for a young person.
Self respect as well as respect for others will also help you live a long life too.
You don't have to agree with them about anything at all. But, it is important to have respect for them as long as they are not causing harm of one kind or another to you.
People who harm you in any way you need to separate from as soon as possible in your life.
However, remember life isn't easy and we all need help at times from others in order to survive at all ourselves.
However, kindness to yourselves and to others is the way to better survive in life always whenever possible in a completely practical and pragmatic way.
By God's Grace
