In today's hard life, 'tenderness' has become a much under-rated quality, but it nevertheless remains the manifestation of personal strength, endeavour and resolution. 'Tenderness' is a fast road for one human winning over the heart of another. When one expresses 'tenderness', one conquers by loving, understanding, caring and forgiveness.
The very first tenderness I can recall receiving was in the loving arms and reassuring embrace of my mother. There is no soother balm than the tender touch of another, be they your mother, brother, lover or friend.
Expressing 'tenderness involves an automatic acceptance of the person and their situation and sometimes demand forgiveness. Once we are able to both accept the person as well as forgive any failings, a remarkable transformation occurs. Tenderness and love arise naturally and spontaneously.
To 'try a little tenderness' is to acknowledge that nothing is too small to care about in the feelings department of the human wardrobe and no obstacle is too large to surmount. People who mean the most to us are not those who give advice, provide solutions or administer cures for our ailments, but are instead those who choose to share our pain, marry our worried minds with mutual understanding and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.
When we are lucky to find our soul mate and the person we are fated to spend the rest of our life with, we will also find that all our 'saved up wishes' will have found their natural home.
Your future happiness is out there somewhere waiting for you, but you shall only find it if you look in the right places. Look not for tenderness on 'Tinder' or seek that catch you have long sought to hook on dating sites such as 'Plenty of Fish'. Your soul mate is out there waiting for you, and you are more likely to recognise them if you know where to look for them. Look in all places where human pockets of truth, honesty, faithfulness, sensitivity, goodness and forgiveness naturally reside; for it is there that you are most likely to find these inextricable stands of good character wrapped up in a huge ball of human tenderness. Love and peace. Bill xxx
