Soft.

Contrary to popular opinion hardness is not a sign of strength but a sign of weakness.

Hardness is the result of fear.

And fear is a sign of weakness.

Truly strong people are fearless and their hearts are soft and compassionate.

They are not afraid to appear vulnerable.

And they are not afraid to show love.

Their attitudes are tolerant.

And their outlook is benevolent.

They show mercy and forgiveness.

But most of all their hearts are soft.

And they give love.
