It's the ancient hallowed question of: do I rip the band-aid off slowly or quickly? Or even at all? I think it is different for everyone. Everybody has different needs and preferences. I think it is human nature to interpret a starkly different perspective as an attack on the one a person presently identifies with. It's unfortunate, but that's the human ego. I also think interpretation plays a huge role here, and I don't think everyone views the same things as kind/cruel as some other people. Some people are more easily triggered by some things than others, which is fine, I think there are probably advantages to both states of awareness. There is always a give and take, and everything has value under the right circumstances.
