Hasn't it already been established during the course of human history that anger contorts your face and makes it red, sadness is :( and happyness is :) ?
Our inner feelings versu the representations of them.
Things just arent so simple. Certain feelings we just can't find appropriate representations for, much less describe them in words. Same as traditional chinese medicine, in contrast with western medicinal techniques. You know the symptoms, but do you really know the source? In a way, feelings are not much different from ailments. In a similar way, you may both know not how to go about expressing (in feelings) or treating them (as in ailments).
As it turns out, these are but natural dilemas in life. Let nature take its course, ailments develop into full blown diseases and take our lives away. What can we do? These are but what nature decrees (natural selection some may say). but NO! Technology has offered some investigation and inroads into realising its source. Our feelings no matter how much we mask still overflow into our daily actions. And no, there just arent clear representations for them.
Even if others can't comprehend, neither can its source. I mean, don't we often intend something yet do another? To quote Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland), -
`Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on.
`I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know.'
- How not the same thing abit these two are! And how vastly different outcomes both would bring.
In the meantime, all I know is that there is this blackhole between our feelings and what we express. And the blackhole sucks!
Shucks...
