Maybe I am already, was already, wired in such a way, clearly, in me, from early childhood--no doubt about that--to be aware of and to notice cruelty, social injustice, general meanness. Some kind of heightened sense of "unfairness," whatever that is.

My mother was a tough, hardass, rancher's daughter from West Texas. Her favorite saying to my in all of childhood was: "Cyclist, you are just too sensitive."

You know what? I am pretty sure she was right.
I also have a greater sensitivity to concepts of social injustice than some. I certainly, from early childhood, was aware of and noticed cruelty and general meanness. A heightened sense of ''unfairness'' to, for example, cruel, sneaky, bullying behaviour.

I'm not sure that I agree with your mother. Sensitive and ''too sensitive'' are not the same. It depends on how someone uses their gifts...
