Considering Kindness: An Elegant Approach

Oxford Dictionaries defines elegance as "the quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner."  In Ian Glynn's book, Elegance in Science: The Beauty of Simplicity, Glynn asserts that in addition to simplicity, elegance involves ingeniousness, conciseness and persuasiveness.
