Multiple Choice
If someone lacks the virtue of kindness, does that necessarily mean that he or she has the vice of cruelty?
A) No, because kindness is intermediate between cruelty and being ingratiating, and so one could fail to be kind by being "too nice" to others.
B) Yes, because cruelty is the absence of kindness, and so anyone who lacks kindness will necessarily be cruel.
C) No, because someone can lack the virtue of kindness simply by not caring enough about kindness, but being cruel means valuing cruelty for its own sake.
D) Yes, because kindness involves caring about others, and anyone who does not care about others is cruel.
