I think often "nice" and "kind" get confused, and to the great detriment of souls. My friend often says, "I'm the nice one, please don't hate me," because it was my job to deliver bad news and/or corrections when we worked together. Being nice, in my book, leads to parents being friends and friends being superficial. Whereas being kind (gently doing or saying what is best for a person) oftentimes leads to tough love and difficult situations. That's just my two cents.
