Being sensitive to what brings you light is being sensitive to what brings you pain. In certain kinds of depression, it's not sensitivity to pain but lack of sensitivity to pain that's the issue.

Depressed people don't actually feel pain correctly. They feel numbing darkness rather than the sharpness of pain. Some will do anything to feels something. Some will do anything to cry. They will create any tragedy necessary. A "Death Drive".

The masculine by nature is insensitive, it follows an arc straight and true and stubborn. It buries itself behind weapons and tools it fashions from the environment, whether it be horn or sword.

The feminine gives light when she understands the Weight of the Sword. The masculine gives light when he feels the Breath of Life.

Properly balanced they produce radiant divinity. They become the light we walk towards. Our north star. Broken families are formed when we follow the external surface behavior, but forget to tend to the fire and lose the light.

Nowadays the family unit in an abundant modern society isn't necessary. You don't have to produce a Divine Child, as proof of the Radiancy of the Family.

It is however what most of our existing traditions bolster and support. You can't attack that base without showing that you can consistently and reliably produce Light at the same quantity and scale.

While YOU as an individual may be able to find love and fulfillment through Work or through a Non Traditional Partnership, people in other cultures may not. They might find you weird in fact, disgusting even.
