Summary

The quote highlights the fine line between "tough love" and "acting like a jerk."

The crucial distinction lies in the underlying intention. Tough love aims to provide constructive feedback for positive change, whereas acting like a jerk merely serves to belittle or harm others without any genuine concern for their improvement.
