There is no right or wrong advice. There are tips that push us in a certain direction. The only question is whether the magical golden mean lies in this direction.
The advice to "be kinder to people," for example, seems to be universal. And then it turns out that the victim of domestic abuse, whose kindness has been used for many years and the whole psyche has been completely broken, is not suitable.
The advice "if you see weakness, hit right away" seems disgusting and destructive until you find out that it is given by a trainer to a boxer before entering the ring. The coach, of course, could be more specific, but it's not about him.
There is no good and bad, there is no right and wrong, there is only a radiant norm in the middle, there is only neutrality that is convenient for everyone, there is only our beloved “sense of proportion”. This is the sense of proportion we are all moving towards. In very different ways.
They, as you understand, can be in different directions.
