​propositions towards a mechanical understanding of kindness

12/5/2021

​a mechanism of balance has a physical attribute akin to kindness
the point of equilibrium is shared

the heavy makes space for the light

the interaction of one material to another can seem unkind

is a sustainable system kind?

soft and hard become one through their meeting
if steel did without brass it would move less smoothly

gears mesh kindly
gifting movement to each other

if gears do not mesh then is this less kind?

is kindness able to be a mechanical principle?

kindness is a deep acknowledgement through actions of the position and presence of others

without self awareness can kindness be?

kindness is how this human can engage with and understand the world observed

is kindness the action of respect?

kindness is a working methodology
kindness is an efficiency
kindness is an acknowledgement
rather than the denial
of the perceived actual

of a kind
sharing my kind
the other is as I am
of the same kind

Imagine
​a mechanism
held together
of its own

resting in equilibrium
moving with
dynamic shifting balance

each piece an individual
all parts inseparable
indistinguishable
from the whole
