The people who are sensitive in life may suffer much more than those who are insensitive, but if they understand and go beyond their suffering, they will discover extraordinary things.
– Jiddu Krishnamurti in Think on These Things
Sensitivity heightens everything, and can be a curse or a blessing depending on how we are able to relate to it. If we are blessed with the outer and inner circumstances to make use of sensitivity, we can discover extraordinary things. It can help us in our relationships, and in healing and artistic work. It can help us gain a great deal of insights into the human nature, and life and nature in general. It can even help us notice what we really are in our own first person experience.
