The Relativeness of Sensitivity


          The enigma of human mind has been studied over several millenia yet it continues to startle each of us almost always! I want to talk about the perception of an event or a situation by different people.
          Whereas it might be visceral and very sensitive for someone, it might be stupid and juvenile for someone else. This is because humans are straitjacketed in expression of their emotions only to language as a primary means. And comprehension of the same, is again a function of the person's past emotional experiences; i.e. whether he has had a similar experience in the past or not. 
          The possibility to connect is likely when the delta between the sensitivities of two people to a perceiving a situation experienced by one is minimal. By this, I mean, the emotions invoked in the two people had they been through the same situations and their reactions to the same would be identical. But for most of the times, the likelihood of two people experiencing an identical situation is unsurprisingly small. This is another hindrance in feeling something with equal visceralness as others.
          Eventually, it is an individual's outlook of perceiving situations that stays with him and inputs from others can only allay pain or alleviate the intensity of the same.
