Should honest people be bullied by sophisticated, realistic and hypocritical people?

I have thought about this question, and after a long time, I think this question is actually like this:

If you are rich, powerful and influential, you are kind to others, and others will think you are very kind.

If you are poor, you have no right, and you are kind, others will think you are stupid and weak (so you have to beg them humbly), so you are bullied.

Your parents are kind and traditional, and care about their own character and face, but people around them will only take this as a joke. But I don't think they did anything wrong. At any time, they act according to their own principles, seemingly suffering, but in fact they retain their dignity. Of course, you may not like them and think they are humble or too humble, or maybe they were really not easy before, so they used to be kind to others. But it is more likely that, as you said, relatives are changing, and your conditions are good, but not strong enough for them to respect you. This objective condition and your parents' subjective habits are hard to change, but you can adjust these things yourself. For example, you can do many things by yourself, and you can decide your attitude towards life and the way you interact with others.
