Seriously, think about it. Being tough can deaden you to emotion and "even the coarsest sensations". Being soft can, well, make you a victim. In all earnest, think about it. Which is it better to be?

I believe it is better to be sensitive and strong at the same time. It is better if we are not shaken by any negative emotion like anger, hatred, fear, etc. but still we are sensitive towards love and joy and we are compassionate towards other people.

Neither.
While I don't agree with everything Freud said, there is one thing he focused on and that was balance between any two states. So what is best out of being tough or soft, neither, what we need is a balance where we know when to stand up for ourselves but be compassionate when need be.

A little bit of both. Being too soft; people will take advantage. Being to hard; people will watch there step with you. A little of both will even itself out...... Good luck

Stroft. Strong in reality and soft and humble in truth. Go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truths

Better to be soft than tough, but truly, better to be balanced...not a doormat, but not an unfeeling jerk, either.

both...be tough at certain times when you're face with tough situations and weak when you're with your lover....hehe....even if you say you can be tough all the time, the reality is you can't...there will be times that you get weak from being trying to be tough all the time...
