written style with interpersonal features • Kindness is fantastic because it is free and it cannot hurt anybody. It is the thing that brings us together. • In times of chaos and crisis we tend to point fingers at whoever we think as the bad guys or the evils. We start arguing and presenting different opinions. However, we sometimes forget that hatred or evil is intelligent. It is smart and invisible. It does not have a color, a race, religion or politics. It is an invisible snake that while it is planning to make its attack, it is thinking of dividing its enemy into smaller and less strong groups that hate each other. In this way, it is easier to take the enemies down. • In the mean time the groups are yelling at each other and trying to figure out which group it is that is causing the problem. This is when evil is winning. It happens all around us and that is why we need to shift our perspective. The solution is that we need to build a kinder and a braver world. We need to get rid of labels such as gay and straight, rich and poor, mentally ill and not mentally ill, gun owner and not gun owner, and so on. None of this can matter anymore. • When those issues do not matter anymore, we are unified in our humanity. The only thing that matters is that we all appreciate each other’s kindness. Kindness has to come before everything else. We need to operate relentlessly with everything we have.
written style 2 (objectified) The greatest thing about kindness is that it is free. Acting in kindness comes at no great cost or risk of inflicting harm upon oneself or others. It is the great catalyst that unites people of all creeds. Human beings often feel the need to understand the evil that lies at the heart of great chaos and turmoil There is often a moral drive to identify the villains if only to put a face on this evil. What follows, almost invariably, is the tendency draw lines in the sand, to smear and vilify the other. While evil is abstract and inanimate, hatred is conscious and tangible. Hatred is cunning and invisible. It knows no color nor race. It acts without regard for religion nor politics, an unseen serpent poised to strike with a singular purpose: to sow discord and division. Once divided, society will fracture into smaller, more vulnerable factions, turning on each other, paving the way towards destruction. And all the while we will remain oblivious, pointing fingers and laying blame while evil triumphs. Perspective is key. The solution is to foster a kinder and braver world that is not defined by factions and labels like gay, straight, rich, poor, mentally ill, sane, gun owners, non-gun-owners. These things can no longer be made to matter. Humanity is united by the common belief that kindness can be found in one another. It is this belief that must take precedence in finding common ground on which fruitful alliances can be built in the pursuit of real solutions. (Aditya)
