Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's philosophical tweet has got the internet talking. On Tuesday morning, the director took to social media and shared a tweet on empathy and apathy. The filmmaker tweeted, "being kind is hard". However, it seems like fans do not agree with Mahesh Bhatt. 

Mahesh Bhatt shared a picture of two small kids. One of them looks sad and the other is seen consoling him. Here, Bhatt wrote, "When the time comes to make a choice between empathy and apathy. It's often tempting to look away from another person’s pain rather than make the effort to help. Let’s face it – being kind is hard". Check out the tweet below.

Mahesh Bhatt's tweet has been bombarded with angry netizens' comments. "For us normal people who hv inherent qualities of empathy see our children in him,what if it was our child would we hv not stood up for him, but then we r normal thinking people who empathize with others pain, but it is hard for selfish people like u all who live for themselves" said a user. Another tweeted, "You bet. The temptation to show apathy outweighs the urge to show empathy when someone lives through pain and suffering. While a fair weather encourages you be kind an inclement one rips all your kindness apart.Guess the fair weather cohort attracts you more!.". Some of them have also referred the tweet to Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
