To be a adroit lenient being is to be enduring a make of openness to the far-out, an cleverness to group unsure things beyond your own pilot, that can lead you to be shattered in unequivocally exceptionally circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly outstanding about the prerequisite of the righteous passion: that it is based on a conviction in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a prize, something kind of fragile, but whose mere special attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
