One theory says that if you treat people well, you’re more likely to encourage them to do what you want, making all the effort pay off. Do this, get that.
Another one, which I prefer, is that you might consider treating people with kindness merely because you can. Regardless of what they choose to do in response, this is what you choose to do. Because you can.

Note: Four decades ago, the US very wealthy 1% people used to invest part of their colossal accumulated wealth on “philanthropic” institutions. Not out of the kindness of their heart, but because it was good for business.
The US value system agreed that inequality among social classes has a terrible cost to business and that showing off a sense of “General interest” would save the capitalist system.
This is No longer the case: strike with fury and awe the lesser classes

Political systems repeat same deadly mistakes. In particular racist and apartheid system
Germany repeated the same strategic military mistake that defeated it in WWI and WWII.
As Germany was about to win the battle in France in WWI and enter Paris again, then it dispatched valuable divisions to the Russian front where they found out Not to be needed.
In WWII, as England was about to throw out the towel, Hitler opened the Russian front.
Israel system still cannot sustain a long protracted war: Its huge military superiority pressures its system to carpet bomb and stop the war within less than a month.
Israel system is based on creating sustained settlement for Only Jews. It refuses any political settlement for Palestinians since this is tantamount to giving up settlements built on robbed Palestinian lands.
The USA was built on conquering more lands for its expanding population and kept up military operations and engagement all around the world.
England steadfastly wanted to be the dominant sea power. It created WWI in order to destroy the fast growing German navy and merchant ships that became the second exporting nation after USA. It found an excuse in WWII to destroy French Navy and merchant ships because it became larger than its feet. And now England is in the tail of the developed nations.

India High Court banned Islam divorce verbal procedures by repudiating the wife 3 times (the shameful bil al thalassa?). If Indonesia (first largest Muslim State after India) follows through, most Islamic States will consider a state law, except Saudi Kingdom
