@dccrisford @MicroSFF #Kindness may feel like it is natural, dear kind soul, but like its opposite, it is learned. If we can get pleasure from kindness - which means we need people in our early environment who reflect it on us - it becomes our natural path. Unfortunately, psychopaths find cruelty more satisfying (stimulating is probably a more accurate term), so that is more 'natural' to them and they repeat it. We can teach ourselves to be kinder by seeking opportunities to practice.
