Soft ...

Hypothesis: Soft things are great. Girls, pillows, soft drinks, soft music, being soft on crime; I dare you to find any item or activity that isn't improved by making it softer.

We have soft motion martial arts, like tai chi. That shit just fascinates me. You take your average punch and make it softer, slower, more controlled, involving your whole body in a harmonic rotating movement, and it has basically the same effect with less force.

And the soft sciences, where they don't pretend to discover ultimate truths of the world as it is and get all worked up even though today's truth is superseded the next week; but rather a slow, careful process of genuine enlightenment by studying the immaterial values which define the world we live in.

Also, hands up everyone who's read A Softer World.

This has been a post written entirely around making a punny thread title.
