Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered?

How to be soft and strong at the same time?

You are saying personality wise, right? meaning person being mentally tough/strong and soft hearted at the same time?

Well, I agree with you and yes very few have such superior control and mastery over this. Difficult to find such people, but they are there.

Well in gung fu some of us have learned to combine soft and hard styles or forms. Like steel hidden in cotton as my sifu used to say.

It's a different calculation for every person.
Typically it's a matter of having unmovable mental strength, being assertive, and having physical strength yet maintaining a solid sense of compassion, empathy, tenderness, and a nurturing nature.

I don't think 'soft' is the right word. Compassionate would be better.

I think it depends what you look like as to whether it's effective or not.

Isn't that the same as being gay...
