  Could it be that kindness is usually quiet, but cruelty is often loud?
context: Systemic and institutional cruelty are insanely common even if interpersonal one on one cruelty is somewhat rarer than kindness. People go around ignoring the obvious in those terms all day long >
  
  I'm not even sure how much I agree with my opinion up there. It sounds optimistic. I think cruelty cuts much deeper than kindness soothes us, most of the time. So cruelty can have a big impact for sure, and most kindnesses are simple things that just make our days a bit better. But kindness could save lives too. Yet it doesn't seem to register as a survival strategy, does it? But cruelty most certainly can register as a threat to survival, and in extreme cases does cost lives. >
