Funny Holidays - Tenderness Toward Existence Day

It is human nature to experience positive emotions, which are transformed into affectionate behavior and a reverent attitude towards others Many people radiate affection not only to children, parents, lovers or friends, but also to animals and plants Caring and caring for everything on Earth is a manifestation of high moral qualities and an understanding that everything in the world is interconnected People depend on the fauna and flora on the planet just as living and inanimate nature depends on us Understanding this immutable truth led to the establishment of the Day of Tenderness for All Beings, which is celebrated on January 19th Tenderness Toward Existence Day appeared on the calendar in the early 2000s and has been celebrated annually since then This Day was established to popularize the idea that any life has value, regardless of the degree of intelligence and other differences between living beings and each other Tenderness is one of the most vivid experiences, a manifestation of warmth and love On January 19, this feeling is traditionally demonstrated to surrounding people, animals, plants and even insects Showing affection and care is not unique to humans Despite the fact that in most animals the dominant behavior is the instinct of reproduction, they also know how to love Dogs, cats, foxes, ducks, pigeons, flamingos, and dolphins show tenderness to their fellow creatures Their touching relationship often becomes an example for people who lack spiritual subtlety and inner warmth The desire to hug a person and press him to your heart is common to both women and men However, prevailing stereotypes in society require the stronger sex to remain a stone wall, demonstrate invulnerability (“Boys don’t cry!”) and lack of sentimentality But tenderness is not a synonym for weakness or vulnerability, a kind of “cloud in your pants” She is a manifestation of care and love Tenderness is a delicate and careful attitude towards loved ones The holiday encourages men to abandon their inhibitions and demonstrate gentle behavior and the heart-tugging joy of meeting their beloved woman, child and other loved ones Anna Akhmatova owns the following poetic lines: Tenderness is a manifestation of affection, care and selflessness; there is no strict calculation or desire to manipulate anyone behind it The pace of modern life, distrust of the world and others completely deprive people of trust and sentimentality They become stingy in expressing many feelings and emotions A person loses the ability and courage to give tenderness, to enjoy it, enveloping loved ones, pets, and plants in the garden The initiators of the unusual celebration, celebrated on January 19, do not agree with this state of affairs In honor of the holiday, they encourage everyone to open their souls and hearts to generously share care and affection with other living beings
