Disagree. Stupidity is of the mind, kindness is of the heart.

Do you believe that you are capable of doing everything without aid from anyone at anytime? If so then it would be stupid to be kind to people.
If you believe that all people will at some point need some help, then it is stupidity to not be kind, otherwise in your need people will not be kind to you.

I disagree. Many people mistake kindness for weakness and that is a big mistake. Just because you are a kind, understanding, empathetic person person doesn't mean you are weak or stupid. It actually shows strength of character and high values.

charity as one form of kindness is a virtue and come frrom genuine care for others. and a person should cultivate it.
kindness in the form of butt kissing is often disappointing because you don't always get the pay off you expected.
kindness in the form of groveling is sad because you don't have self respect and cant say no to those who use you.
kindness in the form of enabling others to be irresponsible or selfdestructive is not kindness.

I completely disagree. You imply that the only smart thing is to look after yourself, when kindness has distinct advantages in a social species like human beings.

I disagree. Kindness does not denote stupidity. It is kind to want to understand.

Contextualize it and I may agree.
If you try so hard to help another that you destroy yourself in the process, yes, it's foolhardy.
