"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy ... is kindness."
~ the Dalai Lama
When I read many of these answers I feel that people are confusing being "kind hearted" with being a "sucker". True emotional strength comes from within when one is at peace enough to be kind hearted to all who cross his path and when, on the rare occasion, someone is abusive or unappreciative, you respond with even greater kindness because you understand in your deepest soul that these persons need it more than anyone.
This is a difficult, but much more rewarding way to live life. We allow others to stomp on our hearts or to beat us down ... that is our choice. If we live with "guarded" hearts we may be able to avoid some pain ... but we will never feel love and happiness in their greatest sense. The armor of "kindness" can not be beaten down or torn apart by anyone ~ unless we allow that to happen.
Kindheartedness is THE best emotional armor ... it is the only way to truly love and the only way to truly live.
Peace to you JC! =)

a sort heart does not grant you emotional armor. It particularly opens you as much as emotional trauma. something someone with a sort heart must recognize is whilst to permit circulate of attempting to have a reliable heart for somebody or something. sometimes, it is not properly worth it and particularly not with it while you're to get harm over it whilst the different person does not something yet use you as a rug. it incredibly is physically powerful to have a reliable heart, in spite of the shown fact that it incredibly is mandatory learn how to have a reliable will and grant your self with protection (from abusers). reliable success.

Sadly, I know from experience that a kind heart doesn't provide much, if any protection against those mean-spirited people in the World who tend to take advantage of that very kindness. However, I would never ever change that about myself...I'd rather have a kind & gentle heart than be cold & heartless.

Unfortunately no JC. When you have a kind heart, that's when people tend to try and walk all over you.

"The softest thing in the universe overcomes the hardest thing in the universe."
(Lao-tzu -- "Tao te Ching", Ch. 43)
Think about it.
Hard things shatter when struck.
Soft things absorb the blow.

No, it makes us vulnerable to an incredible amount of emotional pain. But, hopefully, it can be a magnet for another kind heart. :)
