Exploitation, deceiving, belittling, indecisiveness, indirectness, nor patronizing is strength or masculinity.

If you were self-sufficient (emotionally and intellectually) and had good intentions you wouldn't feel the need to use others to achieve you're goals while tricking them.

If you were truly pure in intent, confident in your essence, and honest in your ways, you wouldn't feel the need to lie and create illusions for people to believe in because your truth is good and interesting enough.

If you we're truly strong, you wouldn't feel the need to belittle others and instead encourage them. At best you'd just ignore the losers.

If you were truly strong, honest, and had integrity, you wouldn't feel the need to be indirect when communicating with others. You would understand how valuable getting straight to the point is and only getting involved with meaningful conversations or people. Beating around the bush is a waste of life, effort, and comes from a place of insecurity and fearfulness.

If you were truly great, you wouldn't feel the need to patronize others in order to give you the false feeling that you're superior. You would treat everyone of equal fairness and dignity, as you would know that all beings have rights and inherent value even if they choose not to act like it.

It's no ones job to treat anyone less than respectful, fair, and honest.

If someone is bad or insufferable, the most respectful thing you can do is just ignore them because karma is embedded in the fabric of reality, and you don't have to punish anyone, they attract suffering on their own because they radiate it outwards. You may not see it, but they suffer in silence and in private. And if you get involved, you will catch some of their karma too.
