I was watching this video of New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, addressing the UN General Assembly. What is striking about her speech is what she emphasises on – empathy, sense of justice and most importantly, kindness.

If I could distill it down to one concept we are pursuing in New Zealand, it is simple and it is this: kindness

That statement coming from a world leader at the United Nations is powerful. It underscores the importance of these ideals unequivocally in a way that little else can. It got me thinking about a parallel universe which was rooted in morality instead of materialism.

What would the world look like if kindness was our currency?
