Lately I've started to wonder if words are the right tool for describing and considering feelings.
Words are a tool of the intellect, and language a structure built to enable thought. Creating understanding and insight with words requires precision of expression and concepts.
However, with feelings the expressions often seem to be missing. There are no scales for quantitative comparison, no names and categories for qualitative judgements, the interdependencies and causalities cannot be properly described.
If words were well suited for describing feelings, would the problem of trying to figure out what you feel exist at all?
If words were well suited for describing feelings, would not human lives be fundamentally different?
