Unpacking The Word Ep. 10: Let's Practice Kindness

Barrett and Luna discuss the difference between being nice and being kind.

Barrett and Luna tackle the difference between being nice and being kind in this week's episode. This topic was inspired by a TikTok Luna saw that confused her because it framed being nice as harmful and being kind as helpful. Barrett explains that the video's creator takes the words "nice" and "kind" at surface level without attaching an underlying philosophy of good to both of them. Barrett also reconstructs a phrase about kindness, shifting it from focusing on being kind to practicing kindness.

Episode recorded on 6/9/2023. Produced by Hannah Loder.
