Kavi Imagines the Face
Kavi lost a game online and felt grumpy. Quick fingers started to type, "You're silly!" Then Kavi stopped. "Wait — a real person is reading this, with real feelings, just like me." Behind every screen is a someone, not a nothing. Kavi took a breath and typed instead, "Well played! Want to go again?" The other player sent back a smiley. Kind words feel good on both sides of the screen.
