The last act of rebellion

The Oxford Word of the Year is “rage bait.”Content designed to provoke anger for engagement.That feels telling.In this episode, I’m thinking about kindness. Not the soft, performative version. Not the “be nice” posters. But kindness as a practice. As restraint. As intention.Because we live in loud, polarised times. We are constantly exposed to conflict, outrage, rudeness, division. We see it in meetings. In shops. On the news. On our phones. And slowly, almost without noticing, unkindness starts to feel normal.So what if choosing kindness now is not passive, but radical?What if it is the last act of rebellion in a world that profits from division?This is not about preaching.It is about questioning what we are becoming.And whether kindness is the quiet resistance we have left.
