Can taking blood on your hands be a kindness? Is it a niceness? What does it mean to be nice vs. kind? Can kind things be done in a polite way, or is politeness and niceness tied at the hip?
This week, we briefly talk about kindness (vs niceness) in ending relationships before getting deeply caught up in kindness in death before turning our attention to unpacking the interplay between niceness and kindness, and have some very interesting insights about how niceness shapes our constructs about motivation and what people “like us” do.
We also bring up and discuss both the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Civilizing_Process and the several scenes from the book Less, by Andrew Sean Greer.
