I have no interest in arguing over definitions. But keep in mind that words have not only definitions, they have frequencies.

Yes, I did...refusing to harden the heart exposes one to the possibility of being harmed emotionally. This to have deeper empathy towards others.

The definition given is NOT subjective! I just googled 'vulnerable' and this came up...
'exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.'
