Sensitivity
"Even the roughest man's skin feels the cold and the heat, the sting and the balm. The soul is just as sensitive to cold, warmth, prick and balm in the roughest man too. Even in the most abominable man the soul is not indifferent to touch. Especially the man of simple habits! It is interesting how sensitive a man is to his own name! The name is the electric bell that rings in the heart. When you greet someone, when you address him, always say his name, or his first name, or his surname, or his title. - Good afternoon Peter. - Thank you very much for your kind attention, sir. German uses the word please instead of name. It's a sign of tenderness. It's nice to see the French use of the dense Sil vu plé (if you like). French uses the word sir or madame in speech with a dense use of the word."
