It's bad to be sensitive to events, which you mostly can't control, but good to be sensitive to e.g. works of art and conversation, which you mostly can. https://davidhume.org/texts/emp/dt
The callow undergrads who tried to cancel Hume can't have derived as much pleasure from it as I have from reading his essays as a result. And I might never have done this if it hadn't been for them. So almost against my will my indignation is turning into gratitude.
