Kindness is an interesting concept. At what point do the notions of apathy/empathy justify social participation? To allow too much kindness within ensures an easily modified platform, while complete apathy equally creates an externally modifiable social platform. A person who is too kind can be easily taken advantage over, while a person who has total apathy can be easily manipulated against via implementations of rumors and false histories to present social structures.
This world around us is composed of so much artificiality, where the multitude of existing personas reflect the commodification and systemic redesigning by commercialized representations of power and sophistication. Humanity undergoes a constant social breeding of a supposed perfection, but these compositions are simply stimulated cultural effigies. 1000 years ago, what's decent for you and I was radically different from any number of given civilizations.
I do not believe in isolating kindness but I am usually cold and indifferent to many of the people whom I meet. I value kindness as an extremely important psychological resource and its expenditures are equally as valued.
That being said, the board is a thought-provoking one.
