The word itself contains a hint: "kind" likely derives from "kin."

So to be kind is to treat people like they are our kin, our family. And we tend to support our brother or mother or son at their best and at their worst. Bc we always remember they have a backstory, and know in our bones that they are just like us.

Hamlet's first words play around with the etymology of "kind" cc @christopher 

[And note how brilliant it is that Shakespeare makes Hamlet's first words an aside. Only Plato and Homer were his equals in showing the end of something in its beginning.]
