Do We Need to be Attached to be Kind?

Does kindness require emotional attachment and identification with one another? Several prominent ethical systems promote the idea that our altruistic tendencies are based on emotional closeness and familiarity. We'll look at a few of those systems, as well as a Buddhist alternative. I hope you'll stick around for the third section where we'll get to the real meat of the matter: what difference these ideas could make in the world!
