Looking Both Ways: The Wonder of Being Sensitive

(Background music)

Sensitivity, in a non-rectified world, is a weakness. In a world where bullets are more common than hugs, in a world where strong emotional responses can yield very negative results, sensitivity is a weakness.

Imagine Nietzsche crying over the animal that was mistreated by its owner. In such a world, even back then, sensitivity was weakness.

To be considered respected and mature, you are not supposed to be sensitive. You are supposed to be strong and tough.

However, in love, the rules of the game of life change.

In love, vulnerability is not a weakness but strength. In love, money matters less. In love, hugs are more relevant than bullets or firearms or even money sometimes. In love, it is more than okay to be sensitive, to experience emotions deeply, in a world that numbs these emotions down.

This goes to show how this world is anti-love. In such a world, is what I call, the non-rectified world. A world where love is strength, is truly a rectified world.

In love, the partner is the priority. In love, justice is made by allowing it to make us emotional, not as weakness, but as a human and humane strength.

Love makes us stop being dead inside. Love can nurture life into our otherwise ruthless behavior and mentality.

The power of love can make us truly happy and rectify the world!

However, as long as we need to work, as long as we need to maintain professional distance, and as long as we, as humanity, shall cherish respect over love, the sentence about the power of love is irrelevant.

Work is hard. Work that we hate makes us aggressive. Success often replaces happiness, and happiness makes us question if we really need to succeed well in life.

I am glad to have forsaken humanity a second time. This humanity is aggressive, alienating and cares less for each other's wellbeing.

In writing, I prefer to be self-ruthless and choose to be unhappy. After all, for me, this is work. And work is done best when treated like a butcher.

In love, I prefer to restore my empathic origins and choose to be happy with my partner.

Love have further taught me, that this world has failed, and there is no restart button.

Love have further taught me, I prefer to be together in hermitage, than in a world defined by corruption and hedonism.

Love is my island of sanity. My island of refuge. Love does not have to be of imperialistic nature. Love can allow us to be the most human.

And it's wonderful. Wonderful to feel emotions again. Wonderful to be of light and not of dark.

In solitude I preserve my good nature. In love I let it flourish.

A world that is anti-love, and pro-profit and pro-conflict, is a world worth forsaking. But since I care about this world, I write in hope to contribute to you, my audience. With all my heart I still want to rectify it....

Why? Because sensitivity is important in art, in beauty, in being able to see life for its wonder, rather than for its flaws.

Sensitivity allows me to craft beautiful AI art for my glorious empire, for all to enjoy.

And of course it is also important, somewhat, in philosophy...

Sensitivity enables us to see details, and awareness of detail allows us to see connections others miss… subtle frequencies and rhythms of everything -- Alex Mos
