What is the essence of words if you’re not in connection with your feelings or senses? What’s the point? When it comes to describing things with objective words it still will be in connection with your feelings or senses. When you use words you try to express something.
Let me give you some examples. Let’s talk about truth. What is the truth? In American movies you often see when a person is in a court and give evidence under oath. What he or she always starts with is to say a phrase by holding on a Bible: “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth or so help me God”. That might be a good example (or bad) as it is important to tell the truth and to be objective as you can because there are always feelings involved. I am not a god believer and if I should swear to tell the truth by holding my hand on a bible and involve a God to help me, that doesn’t chance my conscience at all, but the court in America and wherever this Bible thing is being used has a point in using the Bible and God to touch the conscience in each person who is going to say something in the witness stand. I would rather start a discussion asking who actually wrote the Bible. I am sure it was a human, but who did it?
Another example could be if you were a student and am going to write an essay about something. If you could write about something in a total objective way, these essays might be very much alike, but I can guarantee you that none of them are alike unless you copied out from one student to another. Perhaps the subject is the same, but the words or sentences are not the same. All right, perhaps a bad example now, but I would still say – which my whole point is – we are humans because of our feelings and our senses.
So what makes us humans? Is it our individuality or our feelings?
