"Love a soft person.

The kind whose heart breaks over puppies and injured children.

Someone who cries over sad endings to movies and feels deep joy over happy ones.

The sort of person who is told they are overly-sensitive because they have a more fragile,
easily wounded heart.

(Yet soft people will always find a reason to smile,
no matter how unhappy things are.)

Love a soft person.
A human being who always has a kind smile for everyone,
even when they do not get a smile back in return.

Someone whose heart breaks over the condition of this world.
Someone who always has a gentle word for those who have received the worst news they could in that moment.

Protect a soft person.

These kind of people are becoming endangered with words like ‘toughen up’ and ‘you’re so naïve’ and ‘they’re going to take advantage of you’.

Be a soft person.

Be a cushion in a world full of rocks and hard places.
Be a gentle soul where everyone else is jaded.
Be that person.

Because people like that are rarer and more precious than the rarest of jewels in this world."
