Re: Is a kind person born that way, or cultivated?
Interesting .I have read somewhere that what is at work behind kindness is the "empathy neurons" which seem to be experiencing suffereing in others as though it is theirs. I mean whenever a kind man sees suffering ,something in him produces a similar kind of suffering in sympathy or rather in "empathy".Neurologists say that altruism is a natural born tendency ,not a cultivated one. The very word "kindness" implies identification with persons of the same "kind "
