Through the heart,

all mankind are one.

—DJWAL KUL

In our personal interactions, softness is a gentle way of dealing with a situation that doesn’t degrade the other person (or yourself) but shows him that you have his best interests at heart. Take this example from Zen Buddhism. A student studying meditation with a Zen master would sneak over the temple wall at night and run into town to have some fun.

The master discovered this one night when he noticed the stool the student was using to make his getaway and return. So one night the master waited in the cold and stood in the place where the stool usually was. When the student returned, he stepped onto his teacher’s head and jumped to the ground. When he realized what had happened, he was shocked and embarrassed.

“It’s quite cold this time of the morning,” his teacher simply said. “Take care so you don’t catch cold.” The student never again resorted to a midnight escapade. His master’s single act of softness changed his life.

Are there times when I have seen softness rather than harshness turn around a situation, and what can I learn from this?

The next time I find myself in a charged situation, how can I use softness to turn it around?
