“We try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming over-aroused and distressed. Our trait of sensitivity means we will also be cautious, inward, needing extra time alone. Because people without the trait (the majority) do not understand that, they see us as timid, shy, weak, or that greatest sin of all, unsociable. Fearing these labels, we try to be like others. But that leads to our becoming over-aroused and distressed. Then that gets us labeled neurotic or crazy, first by others and then by ourselves.” (Elaine N. Aron, The Highly Sensitive Person)

“The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. ~ Carl Jung
