yohjiderangedThe Turks came through with 10 points to carry the trophy home. Patience paid off for them. SOLDIER and Avalanche have no patience for winners who gloat.
This week's prompt is #136 - Heavenly Virtues: Kindness
Aristotle defined kindness as “helpfulness towards someone in need, not in return for anything, nor for the advantage of the helper himself, but for that of the person helped.” Kindness is charitable and mild, pleasant and tender, and concerned for others. It is the virtue opposed to the deadly sin of wrath, and so it embodies patience, compassion and peace. It is also considered to be one of the Knightly Virtues.
Is Aerith the embodiment of kindness? How might kindness manifest as a knightly virtue among SOLDIERs? In some twisted way, might Hojo believe that he has always treated his subjects with kindness – or might he fire an assistant who was too kind-hearted? Does Reeve believe in “kill them with kindness” or does he leave that to the Turks?
Whether you look for kindness or search for its shadow, tell us about it in 100 words.
