Mediocrity is kindness, hence the idiomatic expression, “cut them some slack” It’s a way of apportioning out benefit of doubt It’s also a model of kindness that’s about behavior rather than stuff, so more consequential, and a style of kindness that’s you must show yourself first Kindness that doesn’t begin with kindness to yourself usually degenerates fast to resentful martyrdom that reverses course with explosive violence
