Introduction
There is a contrast between softness and hardness, between connecting and rejecting, between harmony and torture. They are sensitive, wanting to bring harmony and joy in the world for others and themselves. But they are often maltreated, beaten, tortured, abused. They can be maltreated by their parents, teachers, soldiers or people in high positions in society.
They try to soften others by adapting to them and pleasing them, often in vain. In the end they give up, withdraw in themselves and become very lonely and sad.
