[ WP ] A person is holding the world hostage . They could annihilate humanity with the push of a button . `` Be Kind . '' is their only demand .

An anonymous yet credible organization, SMILEZ, has made clear that they have the means to end life on earth, and will do so if humans do not `` Be Kind'' to one another. As vague as the message is, it is being deliberated most seriously. The POTUS has called a meeting in order to decide what is to be done with this new threat. 
 
 `` Folks, I need you to come together now, in our time of greatest need, and aide me in deciding what stance the USA is to take publicly on this grave issue, and if we should need to, how to carry out covert operations, whether they be in accordance to or divergent from our public stance. Secretary of Defense, please give us your views.'' 
 
 `` We have before us a threat so great, that it is incomparable to any previously known conflict. We are talking about our stake in the continuation of our very existence as humans. There is no angle for diplomacy in such circumstances. We can not concede to anyone who makes such ultimatums, such absolute demands! The USA must never tolerate being bullied into any course of action, even if that action is kindness, for what is such a term anyway? All arbitrary! Humf! They say this now, and who is to say they wo n't demand something else next week, something more malignant. They could demand we relinquish all nukes, and then expose us at our weakest moment. No ladies and gentlemen, we must stop this now, once and for all! These perpetrators, these TERRORISTS must be destroyed at all costs!'' 
 
 `` Secretary of State, please.'' 
 
 `` I think we should err on the side of caution here. Should we follow the SecDef's course of action, we would commit ourselves to being unkind, the very deed which has been made explicitly clear would end us. And why should n't we strive for kindness? Should n't we rejoice in such demands? Are n't we all an assembly representing the people's best wishes, which no doubt includes their safety and right to a peaceful existence? I think this is a grand opportunity for the human race. We should seize it, employ it to the best of our ability, as a sort of turning point in our history. Up until it, all was human vanity and competition; after it, all is human fraternity and compassion.'' 
 
 ``... 
 
 Thank you for your opinions, gentlemen. While I wish to believe with all my being that humans are capable of coming together, acting benevolently towards one another, I can not. I am of the mind that someone, somewhere, at sometime will be unkind to another or commit some act of aggression. It is the human imperfection that leads me to believe it so. I have no evidence of it anywhere throughout history to believe otherwise. And so, if and when this inevitable act is carried out, SMILEZ will then end humanity. But do us humans deserve such injustice? It is not our fault we give in to our temptations from time to time. Any imperfection is only a fault in our creator, in our design. Therefore, we must act accordingly, protect humans from themselves, knowing they will eventually slip up, and eliminate this organization swiftly.'' 
 
 As it were, the first unkindly actions began to be plotted...
