It isn't a weakness mr. Reeves, its just a good quality exploited by bad people and unfortunately they get better and better at hiding it.

I get that Keanu is a wholesome guy but I'm more inclined to believe that 75% of the quotes I see associated with him aren't his
Thorpington
i dont wanna be part of a world, where your importance to it is how much cash you have. theres more to life than that.
PigleythePig
So many people don’t understand that experience and being happy with people you love trumps money every time.
Thorpington
agreed
ProcrastinateAndThenSome
What's he doing here, then?
monkofshadows
You are. Sorry

Correct.

As I once read; I've got to do better.

Imgur has made me fall in love with him, I swear
HypersonicHero
Being an asshole is easy. Being a cynic, easy. You just have to close your gates and trust no one. That’s easy
HypersonicHero
Opening up, is hard because you know that once you open up you also open yourself up to being hurt badly. Being kind is a gift. A brave gift
thebearcorp
He can phase to other worlds.
Bystandr
Being kind requires the self control not to be selfish, and that has always required strength.
ButtholeMarsBarDispenser
Nobody else sees a red flag? He is kind and loving and keeps starting phrases with "I don't want to be in a world..." or similar. 1/
ButtholeMarsBarDispenser
/2 maybe I'm reading into it. Maybe I'm project of my own shit on this... but please... we can't lose Keanu.

Ilasiak
Well you're in luck because this quote is fake.
MidoryMoon
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be philosophical or suicidal.
GreenNotTheColor
It'd lean more towards suicidal if he said "this world".
OutOfStock
Yes.
Illendor
Those are not mutually exclusive.

In Europe you can be sued for helping people in need. it's called "offense of solidarity". Welcome to this woooooooorld
Fubb1ck
Solidarity offence in France is when you help hide or smuggle illegal immigrants though?
Giveemtheaxe
For helping or not helping? Solidarity makes me think of solitude, meaning alone. Just want to make sure. I know in America there's a law 1.
Giveemtheaxe
2. to protect those who help in a crisis if something goes wrong. Good Samaritan Law, or something like that.
DramaticInternetNonsense
for helping
jelladelta
I think we should crossbreed reeves and grohl and make a new race
RagingRaven336
Who sees kindness as weakness though? Weak people. You live in a world where weak outweighs strength. It has to really.

ThickAndMeaty
Some people don’t deserve kindness, and will exploit it if you show it to them. This is cute and all, but it’s unreasonable.
Riptide00
It may be taken advantage of, but that doesn't make it a weakness.
The605
I mean I don’t want to argue semantics but something that allows someone to take advantage of you IS a weakness. You should still do it tho.
bushmuncher
You’re right and in most work force people perceive it as a weakness. Shyt some females see it as such, cant count the number of girls...
bushmuncher
Who thought I’m into them because I’m being kind to their asses..
fishoftheland
He prob mean kindness being seen as exploitable in a given society. Ex: being kind/polite in say PRC Shenzhen (First hand experience)
captbananapants
Do good recklessly
gooberhead
Dont mistake kindness for weakness- someone famous
Malibloo
You can be kind without explicitly and continuously being taken advantage of. It's simply putting down lines you don't cross.
TroelsyTwo
Oh man I've had friends like that. So exposed. It's a nightmare cos you constantly worry about them.
juzzfuzz
I'm just worried that Rand al'Thor is confusing strength with hardness. I read those books for 5 years, I better have learned something
Snoron
I like to leave myself open to being taken advantage of at least by a small degree. It's a good way to see who is nice and who is an ass.
Shineupordown
and who just wants your ass?
Kevmittens
Kindness is both a strength and a weakness. It can easily be exploited, but it also pretty much guarantees loyalty in those who care.
SomeOneWhoShouldHaveKnownBetterAboutDoingThisSortaThing
Trust each and everyone, and rain down the wrath of old gods when trust is broken
MrVocabulary
Not being able to defend yourself from people who take advantage of others is weakness.
madpoopz
Being kind and not being able to defend yourself are different things.
ThisAintASurfinMovie
It's not about being able or not to, but deciding to be kind despite that possibility. Being kind doesn't mean one has to remain kind.
YouJustGotRickRolled
Define weakness
emjay9010
My knees when I just got Rick Rolled, like Rick Rolled is an arrow.
boscoesauce
Explain
ThisAintASurfinMovie
Knowing your kindness might be taken advantage of, but deciding to be kind nonetheless takes a certain kind of bravery.
MrJollyBear
Bravery is just a synonym for stupidity.
ThisAintASurfinMovie
Depends on the outcome.
aworkoffiction
Some people choose to prey on others for their acts of kindness.
strcmdman
It takes stronger convictions and determination to be kind to those that have wronged you. As the rewards are usually more wrongs.
dumpsterfolk
this saddens me
UglyHorribleGrouchyOldMan
Is this news to you?
mcd25
Iron giant still made me sad the 5th time i've watched it. When big metal super boy go stop the big boom, gets me the eye sweats every time.
boshbashbish
When other’s know you are too kind, they take advantage of that to get something they want out of you. Some people think it’s /1
boshbashbish
“Intelligent” to do this, but you’re honestly just a PoS if you do it. There is a line ofc between being a kind person and a doormat. /2
notinterestednow
I think it has more to do with believing your value comes from others view of you. Leading to obsessive helpfulness. Avoid that/1
notinterestednow
By understanding your own internal value and you should be able to safely be as helpful as you like avoiding the doormat situation.
Thiccups
I used to be a lot kinder than I am now. A lifetime of being exploited and taken advantage of sure makes it feel like a weakness.
captainafterbirth
there is a line between being kind and being a pushover. There is no need for there ti be any overlap. You can be kind, yet assertive.
DubyaSux89
Act like I drive. Got it.
RacistTeacup
That's why we have dogs.
LiamBoyd
Same here... at some point I became grumpy to everyone, yet I get more respect n less being exploited, but I don’t like it deep down
BenSnow97
Just never let the same person take advantage of you twice. Also, there's this: https://ncase.me/trust/
Thiccups
Thank you for that link! That was really interesting and pretty fun.
TroelsyTwo
As a kid I shared my sweets with a girl and she didn't share her's back. After that I know what to expect. But I am kind.
brownmartian
In a similar boat. You start second guessing yourself. But i try not to let it change my nature. Some days are hard tho.
Imissmycats
I've become increasingly good at reading people over the years. So much so i can smell the backstabbery from the first encounter and i'm (1
Imissmycats
so far ,with a 99% accuracy, correct. Yes,it was the constant bullying from age 3 to 13. I still try to be as kind as possible.But it's hard
brownmartian
I'm sorry that it takes shitty people to make you come to such a point but i guess no one ever said the world has to be good to good ppl
brownmartian
I've just focused massively on working on myself this year. So that i dont depend on people's company to feel good. Its just a nice bonus.

YouCantUnsuckADick
Don't be generally cruel, not everyone deserves it. However there are those that do and you shouldn't be afraid to give them their dues.
jimmyhowlett
I agree with you, but it's very difficult to remember this during the moments when people are exploiting you.
boshbashbish
I find it real fucking hard to not be bitter when arse-holes take advantage of kindness.
Thiccups
I'm not cruel, just a lot more pissed off with more cruel thoughts that I don't act on. I don't see a point in going against my nature.
PigleythePig
Its so hard being the better person. Soooooo hard!
Thiccups
It takes guts to be gentle and kind.
PigleythePig
It really does. There are so many times I’ve wanted to crack and not be kind, but my god have I held back.
ihateimgurffs
Nah, that was not kindness if you were being exploited. That was indeed weakness. Kindness comes from a position of power, not subserviency.
DearAtlas
Kindness exists in both sides, pity comes only from a position of power.
ihateimgurffs
Kindness and pity are two very different things
DearAtlas
Yes
Thiccups
You aren't required to be in a position of power to be kind.
Thiccups
Kindness is essentially defined as being friendly, considerate, generous, etc. None of those things need to come from a place of power.
Thiccups
I don't know what you're thinking of, but I don't think it's kindness.
DaveTheScientist
It's legitimately sad he thinks kindness only comes from a position of power. What a bleak outlook.
delaiah
nah. true love, caring, intimacy always come with vulnerability, which brings risk of being hurt. strength is to carry on after it happens.
ihateimgurffs
Yes, in the case of love both parties are in a position of power. So they have a choice of being kind.
Arklytte
Not surprised people are downvoting this. Harsh realities are generally unpopular. *gets ready for more downotes*
RacistTeacup
Reality may be harsh at times, but it's not harsh all the time and I generally think we can improve reality by being kinder
Imissmycats
Why would kindness require a position of power over the other person?
RacistTeacup
They are probably equating kindness with charity, or someone sharing resources with another. Which is a form of kindness I suppose
RacistTeacup
Though one could argue the more power over someone a person has, the less likely they are to be kind. Kindness has many forms though.
