Just want to point out that adults can be just as cruel or even crueler than children with just as little empathy. I don't believe or buy the idea that it just a kid thing. We live in this myth that adults are more mature but interacting with society dispels that myth drastically quick, in my experience.
- whimsicalism 4y agoI think I see a lot more kindness as an adult, but I think this is almost exclusively due to selection effects. I do not see that kindness at the airport or the grocery store, or most other instances that are closer to a random sampling of the US adult population.
