How to use "Mean-spirited" in context?
I think it's important to be kind to others, no matter what they do or how they act. But there are times when being kind seems like it isn't enough, like we're expected to forgive and forget. And that's when Mean-spiritedness starts to set in. It's a way of dealing with the pain of being rejected or feeling inconvenience.
It's hard to be kind when the other person seems determined to hurt us. But we have to try. We can't let mean-spiritedness become our new normal.
