                                     %INSENSITIVITY 770510

     Insensitivity  is  a way of  coping  with  disturbing
situations.    If  self  does  not  know  and/or  has  not
internalized  satisfactory ways of coping with  disturbing
situations,   insensitivity  to  those situations  may  be
adopted  as  a means to reduce dissonance.    Adoption  of
insensitivity  as a means of coping is not likely to be  a
conscious act.   Insensitivity is likely to develop over a
period   of  time  when  sensitivity  brings   meaningless
suffering  with which self can not cope.   Sensitivity  is
sacrificed to reduce suffering.   Pain which can not  lead
to  meaningful  action serves no purpose and is  deadened.
Suffering  which is not perceived to be meaningful may  be
turned  off  by  becoming insensitive  to  the  situations
occasioning the suffering.

     Insensitivity  may  pertain  to the  traditional five
senses:   sight, hearing, tasting, smelling,  and feeling.
Adaptations may  involve desensitization of  any  of these
senses.   Adaptation  may also involve  desensitization of
perceptivity   relating  to  whatever   is:    subjective,
emotional,  affective,  reflexive, psychological,  social,
spiritual, intellectual, etc.
