Good one. I'd be interested in your take on how, historically, humankind has worked its way out of this and how we seem to end up back here...

I think Will Durant gave us a sense of it in The Story of Civilization:

"Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting, and doing things historians usually record – while, on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry, whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happens on the banks."

"The teacher appears when the student is ready. "

Kindness can be learned, but only when the student wants to learn.

I believe in showing the benefits of kindness for the giver to help attract students to the craft! There are so many benefits to being kind.
