That is why I wanted to know if others saw a difference in between kindness and loving-kindness. I'm not sure I see a difference. I get the impression that the usage of the form loving-kindness is meant to highlight the always loving part of kindness.
Human interactions are meant to be catalyzing and I find that cultivating kindness in all interactions always give good results overall.
The way we are raised makes it difficult to differentiate in between being pleasant and being kind. And what makes it even more difficult to grasp is that being kind means you are also not unpleasant.
So how to tell someone a hard truth in a considerate and kind way without that being unpleasant? I get the feeling this is the work of eons.
