Curse of sensitivity

Most of the sensitive people feel sad looking around at the way society behaves. The biases society carries against few sections especially the girls. It disturbs. I feel sad at the way the society thinks. The saddest part is to see the ladies also playing to the galaxy and discouraging their kids to think independently. Even worse is when girls internalize these biases and become weak. They live life much below their capacities.  

Biases are not limited to only gender rather they are much deeper and wider. It's sad to see how the shallow understanding of the meaning of love and respect. Possession is generally perceived as love and authority as respect. If I eat fish because I love fish, there is no love for the fish. It's simply self-love and because I love myself so much that I want to placate the senses, the taste buds. That's why one eats fish. There is not even iota of love for the fish. Some people say that they love fish and that is the reason they keep the fish in aquarium. Is that actually love? Have they ever understood the feelings of the fish? 

Love is all about connecting to the other person at the core and true love is when there is no difference between the two. When that strong connection brings the utmost trust. When one understands what is going in the other person's mind without the other person uttering a word. Not only he understands the thoughts but also understands the entire context and the background where these thoughts are coming from. It's not easy to love. It's seems an impossibility to love unless one lets go the self. At least vis a vis the beloved. It's definitely not a one way traffic. At least not till the consciousness of a person grows enough to ignore all the impurities that the body and the mind carries. That's not easy. Our defense mechanism in the form of emotions is too strong to allow us to have unconditional compassion.

Probably that's where the sensitive people suffer. They extend that unconditional compassion towards others and the self-obsessed ones again and again make them cry by cheating them and hurting them. Slowly the sensitive people become closed and introvert and start living in their own world. I have no problem with there being no true love. That's a person's destiny whether he gets the true love or not. Probably what is difficult to bear is when self-obsessed people pretend to love. 

Howsoever painful the experiences for the sensitive people may be in this world, they know at the core of their heart that this sensitivity is the result of their seeking for that divine love. They are just seeking the expression of the divine in people around. However, the people around have not evolved to reciprocate. They have to understand this. With experience, I have seen that if that internal connection is strong, one comes across many people who are similarly connected to the divine and when two or more such persons interact together, the interaction is nothing less than "Satsanga". When they take up any task together the divine blessings shower. Such love is not bound by the shallowness of the understanding of the society. It just grows organically. It is a connection between two souls, too difficult for a self-centric mind to either understand or even imagine.
