“Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.”— Osho

From a very young age, people are taught that an oppressed person being impolite is a much worse offense than a privileged person being violent.
“When my best friend’s heart breaks, I watch him brick and mortar a bomb shelter into his body. He pencils her name into all the wet cement. Right in front of me, he is holding a wake for the person he used to be and I am not invited. Later, he will thunder or earthquake, but he will not accept any tenderness. In the close-out sale of his heartache, everything gentle must go.”—
