Tenderness
contains an element of
sadness. It is not the sadness of
feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived
but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so
full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes
are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears
will spill out of your eyes and roll down your
cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one
has to feel this sad and tender heart.
If a person does not feel alone
or sad, he cannot be
a warrior at
all.
