#try a little tenderness

From the day we are born we all seek love and kindness. I think that it's sad that through this one common need, people still actively choose to be cruel.

“Convicts Celebrated May Day With Songs,” Kingston Whig-Standard. May 2, 1933. Page 3. ---- Could Be Heard Very Distinctly by Those Outside the Walls ---- Hooting, shouting and singing popular songs with a gusto that made their voices clearly heard by passersby on the road, convicts of the Kingston Penitentiary, quartered in the new female prison, had their little private May Day celebration last night. Till after nine o'clock the convicts demonstrated their vocal propensities.

"We Want Nickle!” was heard more  than once by persons passing the prison. This referred to the counsel for several of the convicts charged with rioting, who was successful in having the only convict, whose trial is concluded, acquitted on the charge.

Around nine o'clock when it could be noticed that the convicts were getting tired of their own noise, strains which sounded very much like "Try A Little Tenderness" drifted out to those who were listening from the Prison Road and other popular songs were sung. A little later the convicts decided to sleep and called it a day.

Warden W. B. Megloughlin, when spoken to regarding the incident, said that apparently the convicts were celebrating May Day, but except for the noise the prison routine, was undisturbed. The convicts were all in their cells and when they got tired celebrating they went to sleep.

"Oh she may be weary

Them young girls they do get wearied

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness......"

Even those of us who aren’t cracked and struggling are yearning for tenderness, exhausted after years of irony, of daily grinding attempts at staying cool. The psychic distance that coolness re-quires feels painful now, another job on top of the three full-time careers in emotion we juggle daily. We crave simple pleasures – like eye contact, pasta cooked for us, or an impromptu conversation with our neighbor.

—Eve Wiseman, A Time for Tenderness

From that 80s flick, 16 Candles...

this scene fucking KILLS. Jon Cryer deserved an Oscar for this scene alone.
