Why are our feelings so sensitive?
Why are we so affected by every word spoken to us, no matter how small?
A harsh word can deeply wound us, as if it were a sharp knife piercing our heart. Perhaps it’s because we are already deeply wounded inside and cannot bear any new pain, however small. A kind word, on the other hand, has a profound impact.
It can make us feel like we’re soaring, and we remember even the smallest act of kindness, becoming attached to the person who showed it. Perhaps it’s because we’ve been deprived of so many beautiful feelings. We’ve spent our whole lives searching for them for genuine love and sincere people and we haven’t found them. We dream of security, but we haven’t felt it; we dream of warmth, but we haven’t experienced it. Perhaps we need someone to make us feel truly alive.
