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.
