On the topic of (un)natural kindness

Sometimes, discussions continue in directions that are difficult to predict from the beginning. For example, what started in the reflections on whether creators are selfish and continued into more on whether consumers are generous, thereafter continued into considerations on whether kindness is natural to humans.
There might be some truth to the observation that another one of my dear Twitter friends, Garima Patet, put forward in relation to this:

"Often, the higher one climbs in the social context, the greater becomes the danger of demonstrating unkind behaviour. There maybe may be exceptions to this statement. But showing kindness is unnatural to human beings."

On the other hand, I think such an observation on a negative trait in general human character just underlines that we need to insist on kindness and common courtesy - and the higher we climb in a social context, the more people we have climbed above, the kinder we should be - as we should always be as least as kind and courteous towards those we have climbed above, as we should be towards those who have climbed above us.
