The Tender, the Tender and the Weak Rise Above

As soon as a tree reaches its greatest height, it begins to die. And this is kind of a martial arts idea, really, that those who were the strongest end up being the most gentle. I think probably a very good example of this from history would be Mahatma Gandhi. He was very tender, very, very soft, very gentle. But yet he lived a very long time and his physical body is pretty impressive.
