Sense of Insensitivity

People were born equally. The only thing that varies us from one another is when we have already the awareness to realize the traits, characteristics or even the hereditary sickness we’ve inherited to our parents. We all have the will to choose who and what we want to be. Most behaviors were acquired due to memorable experience or trauma which can establish subconsciously our insensitivity. On a lighter note, I’m not talking about people who’re stupid that we think they’re insensitive. There’s a thick line between being a moron and trying not to feel anything.  

Being insensitive doesn’t always mean that it’s not a good thing. One example is the phrase “Love is Blind”. People who were in this kind of situation are happily insensitive. They don’t mind what their friends or their mothers negative opinions about their feeling for as long as they are amorously savoring the love they feel. Another example is being gay. Before an individual will gradually accept it, at first they will think that it’s biblically wrong and it’s unacceptable to our society. It’s wrong but it feels so right. Hence, being insensitive will play a big part for your freedom. Accepting your sexuality could mean that you have to be numb on what others will or might throw at you.

Judging a person that he/she is insensitive is off beam. I mean, I don’t think no one could live like that for the rest of his/her life. Sometimes, we only need to be insensitive to cover the pain, our secrets, or what our true current situation is really like. Consider it as a cocktail dress or a coat and tie which you occasionally wear just to look fine in an event. A good cover up. These people who’re good to be insensitive are the most sensitive persons. Inculcating this condition is not that easy just to diminish the pain we’re trying to endure or rather the pain we are dealing to someone. Taking this risk relentlessly, can you imagine the guilt that could backfire at them once they remove the mask of insensitivity? It’s an instant truce that you can acquire which will give you more time to think things solemnly. A space that could save you from the curse of being jaded.

Expect that even the closest one to your heart might not understand you if you turn on this switch. And it might be really hard for you to explain why you have to do this but I guess it’s alright. Words can usually translate on what we think but not the ones we feel. Wearing an adamant skin should have a limit. And just make sure you have a valid reason in doing this.
