But ok, ill play along. No, I cannot describe any feelings PROPERLY and ACCURATELY with words. Let me explain.

For example, love. I can easily say to my gf "I love you," but do you think that gives my feeling justice? Do you really think she understands exactly the way I feel? No way.

Words are inadequate to describe emotions, feelings and thoughts. What about something simpler than love, like hunger which you mentioned before... Consider this:

Two people say "I'm so hungry." Exactly the same expression/words. One of them is from a third world country, and barely eats enough to survive. One of them is from Australia and has gone to work, but skipped breakfast, and now its lunch time. Those two feelings of hunger are completely different. Heres the tricky part, and the part I know you are going to argue against.

We can understand the word hungry, because we have experienced hunger, right? True. That just proves that words are inadequate. The only reason you will ever be able to express a feeling to somebody is if they have felt it as well. Even then the expression is hazy. This is because feelings can only be felt, and not explained. They can be referred to, but not expressed. That's why you couldnt explain your LSD trip to me, thats why we can't possibly understand the third world country boy's hunger. Even if he used the most complex, descriptive language, we still wouldnt know what its like.

So yeah, we cant describe any feelings with words, but we can refer to feelings and the degree of that feeling.

Your being so narrow minded...

Words can describe literally anything. If I really wanted to I could sit here and type a big paragraph on what its like to be high on weed or LSD.. But because I wasnt expecting my reader to be an ignorant fuck... I chose to instead use labeling adjectives that explain in part what it was like.

When someone says their hungry.. As I've previously said, you can often determine their type of hunger from things you already know about that person. If a hungry child gave you a full description of his physical and mental condition during periods of extreme hunger, you would be able to understand exactly what his hunger is like.

Thats not happiness. Youve stated two OTHER feelings. Enjoyment and contentedness.

Describe happiness, or if you want pick one of the two new ones you mentioned go ahead and describe those exactly.

If you want a clearer explenation than that, I need a situation to base this 'happyness' off.

Dont try and get too tricky for yourself man..

What your doing is like asking someone to write a song about 'chair'...

If you need a descriptive explenation of happyness, you need to be writing from the perspective of someone who is experiencing it.

Thats still a feeling isnt it? I thought you could explain any feeling exactly with words?

So explain that one.
