A highly sensitive man has a peculiar weakness: he is easily overwhelmed by emotions, which is to say, his movement is easily inhibited.
This is paralyzing, risking his short-term survival.
Though he has a choice of surviving, he chooses not to, because he values mental integrity above all else.
He remains paralyzed and refuses to continue moving until he interprets, understands, makes sense of his inhibiting negative reactions.
This necessitates courage, lest he become a vulgar man.
A highly sensitive man without courage becomes a vulgar man, a man who walks over his reactions.
The brain tells him not to, but he continues walking nonetheless.
I am often asked how this is reflected in real life. Since iambiguous is the kind of man who cannot understand anything unless you provide him with a real life example, and most of all since I want to, I will provide an example or two.
But this should be obvious . . .
A high school student refusing his “duty” is the simplest of examples.
If you sense that something is wrong, then something is wrong and you shouldn’t do it until you understand what is wrong.
A student senses that something is wrong with going to school, so he simply refuses to do it . . .
A hyper-rational parent, however, will try to force his child into a school, inventing all sorts of “reasons” as to why he should be doing it, ignoring his child’s reactions . . . this is what Satyr calls “top<>down thinking”.
If a stubborn child is unable to endure the pressure, he will start making shit up himself in order to defend himself from his forceful parents. The child himself will start using “top<>down thinking” in order to protect his “bottom<>up thinking”. For example, he will try to deny the value of schooling in general . . . A child not allowed to understand his problems will be forced into falsifying his problems . . .
No school means no job, and no job means no basic necessities of life . . .
A man who refuses to work is another example.
Most people today are desperate to find a job, even if not having a job is not risking their life. Bad conscience is enough . . . If you do not have a job you are a loser, and if you cannot endure the pressure, you will have to force yourself into any kind of job, just so that you can get rid of your bad conscience.
But for a highly sensitive man, choosing a job is as delicate as every other choice in life.
Hyper-rational people do not analyze their feelings, their reactions, their taste . . . they do not care about aesthetics . . . all they care about is putting an end to their fear, whatever the origin of this fear might be.
Unless the path has been built by his ancestors, a highly sensitive man will have to spend a lot of time choosing his job.
Unlike the vulgar man, who chooses what is most popular or where is all the money at, he always picks the job that fits his habits the best.
All of this means enduring pressure, and eventually, risking death.
