The more you are exposed to something, the less sensitivity you have towards it.
For example, when I came home from seminary in E”Y I was flabbergasted at the lengths of girls skirts back in America. Everywhere I went I saw people wearing short skirts and I just couldn’t understand it.
Now, a few years after sem, it does not bother me as much. I try to keep my knees covered at all times, but my sensitivity has definitely lessened.
The first time I wore a skirt that was shorter than I was used to, I was conscious of it the whole day and it made me very uncomfortable. The more I wore the skirt, the more comfortable I became, until I barely noticed it at all.
It will be very hard for you to gain a sensitivity toward something when you are still amongst it. You have to take a step back, and only then can you build a sensitivity. Take the plunge now, even if you don’t feel it, and the sensitivity will come later.
