do you feel it, though?
your faith in someone's kindness-- it's chemical
it's tied to a biological mechanism that's been hammered out by time
a pattern
the human genome has in general identified certain actions that help promote itself
or, that keep it in its current motion

it isn't just that thought anymore.
that thought has unexplored context for most of us
most of us don't explore the depths present there

so, given that stopping there is not always the best option for the human--
what is it about that response to seeing another's kindness that may be too shallow?
are you perhaps biased in some way?
have you considered the negative aspects of it?
we have the math and we have the science
now we should arm ourselves with it.
