>>Redeeming is an unusual word. To believe in redemption you need to believe in both a fall from grace and original sin. What you're advocating therefore is not a logical system but a faith based belief system, i.e. a religion.<< Nonsense. You are setting up your standards (strawman) for kindness, not mine, and then using an esoteric and pedantic rationalization to knock it down. Humans are capable of great compassion and it is the only real truth I feel I ever found in all my literary explorations. I expect kindness is a rule followed by many sentient beings in the universe.
