maybe it's not that kindness is overrated, but the idea that you should be kind to others in general. i do remember whether school or religious organizations advocating such universal kindness, the thing as giving your right cheek when people slap your left cheek and so forth.
but the thing that works for many is more on the lines of being kind to the right people and cutting off ones that may not appreciate your kindness or even try taking advantage of you.
as for who is the right people, is probably more on the lines that you genuinely wanted to so something good to them. even if you may not be rewarded for it.
in the end, i see it more as a process of connecting to the right people in our lives, and the act of kindness is one of the process. personally, whether i witness some acts of genuine kindness, there's something that heals my soul and i wanted to root for them so they can keep helping the right ones while straying far from those who has ill will.
in the end, i understand that life sucks, but it's not like i'm going to stay here forever. i prefer to just enjoy the ride since i hate feeling like shit all the time from things beyond my control.
