Just trying to understand what you (general you) value more kindness or Cleverness...
Edit: I think you're kind too, you're a good person.

That being said, and given the option, I'd sooner have a cuppa with Watson than Holmes any day of the week.

I see your point, sherlock Holmes was definitely "better"(with his job) but Watson was more likeable.

When I'm kind it's often with people I care about, and obviously, trying makes a difference.
I would say it'd easier(for me) to be kind because I have more control over it.
You're just being modest, most intelligent people actually consider themselves just ordinary. I think the difference between clever and kindness is big because being kind is hard imo and it's much easier to just be unkind, if someone is kind it means they're more selfless and a more caring person.
