If you d asked me a week ago if there was a big difference between nice and kind, I would have shrugged and said not really, no. Then I came across this Lifehacker post highlighting a tweet from designer Jordan Green:
When I describe East Coast vs West Coast culture to my friends I often say The East Coast is kind but not nice, the West Coast is nice but not kind, and East Coasters immediately get it. West Coasters get mad. Jordan Green (@jordonaut) January 21, 2021
Now, I can t stop thinking about the distinction. And apparently it s not just me and a few other folks who maybe spend too much time online. Philosophers and psychologists have dug into the difference between nice and kind too, revealing a distinction that every leader should keep in mind, especially in times of crisis.

When thousands rallied in the nation s capital Dec. 12 with a conviction that the Nov. 3 election had been stolen from President Donald Trump, among those headlining the event were a Texas Catholic bishop, a former papal nuncio to the U.S., several priests and a prominent Catholic pro-life leader.
Four days later, the conservative advocacy organization Catholic Vote sent out an email under the headline President-Suspect, saying that while Joe Biden is the president-elect on paper … that means nothing until the votes cast by the electoral college are opened by a joint session of Congress on January 6.
Power, privilege, and the COVID-19 vaccine
With the vaccine comes the opportunity for even deeper divisions between the haves and have-nots.

Who gets to jump to the head of the COVID-19 vaccine line?
President Trump delayed initial plans, first disclosed by The New York Times, to fast-track distribution of the vaccine to most
White House staff members, âunless necessary.â The scent of privilege for someone other than himself was too strong â even for a president whose cronies have shamelessly benefitted from COVID-19 treatments unavailable to others. But already there are other vaccine line-cutters, and their identity shows exactly whose work is valued by society. For example, congressional leaders who have yet to come up with a COVID-19 relief package for the country will be offered the vaccine before grocery workers who stock the shelves so the rest of us can eat.
