Feel Something To Understand It? ❤️
Throughout our lives as we witness and learn many things, do we need to feel something to understand it?
To experience something you have to feel it?
If you think back to childhood, while you were in a world with no understanding of what is going to around you and being so hyperactive and sensitive to the new world and everything around you. In this state, you are forced to learn to feel which leads you to discover and understand things.
When you start to grow older, developing and becoming aware of the things, emotions have been established clouding and forming your perception of life, and It is your bias which directs the steps you choose to follow.
When you begin to grow old and feel that rush of autonomy and becoming independent, the subconscious content is integrated into consciousness.
Or can we understand something just purely from observations and examinations?
It is true that you must honestly feel something to understand it but to what extent? It is hard for me to know what it is like to mourn and lament the death of a loved one since it has never happened to me and I have never felt it. That is what will make it more hitting and sinister, but I can only speculate the mere storm that will rage inside me when someone passes.
Even with the teddy bear in the header of this post. How do we know this cute adorable bear is not fluffy, but it is made of a material that is rough, jagged and coarse?
If we think of a practical example, if you were to tell someone who is racist that what he is doing or his mind set is wrong and you try to argue with them with perfect logic, I'd think it would be like arguing with a man who thinks he is a dog if he is actually fixated and adamant he is a part of that species.
This thought occurred to me when I was looking at a few 'My Strange Addiction' videos (I don't know why they just popped up in my recommended tab on YouTube) and how firm some of their beliefs are that they are a dolphin unequivocally.
You also have things like murder, bullying, child abuse etcetera which are all known and "felt" to be wrong but that doesn't give us any understanding of the crimes. The only thing that enables us to understand these topics is from observation and studies, engaging the intellect which inevitably provides us with the truth, and sometimes emotions make us less pragmatic and more delusional.
To my mind FEELING is absolutely EVERYTHING! It is the foundation upon which everything else is built. Nothing would mean ANYTHING without feeling and emotion attached to it!
Great read - glad I stumbled across you - looking forward to more from you.
Would love your thoughts on my latest post too if you have a moment to read...

I guess feeling is absolutely everything.
Each moment and experience would be rendered useless if you were not able to feel, live and breathe it.
Maybe observations and studies as the building blocks that are placed on the foundations created by feeling.
Thank you for your great comment.
I'll check out your post now! :)
Very true! Pleasure for the comment :)
I totally agree. We have to examine and dive into whatever we wanna grasp in order to see more deeply and clearly. When it comes to feelings yes we have to feel it to understang it we all realize this when someone try to tell us about something happened to him and we don't really get it because we didn't went throught it we didnt experiece the feeling. Its too hard get by imagination. Our feelings are energy. This energy influence our understanding.
I agree that it is hard to perceive things without experiencing and feeling an event yourself. You have to put yourself in another person's shoes to really feel and empathise with their pain or rhetorics.
Thank you for visiting my blog! :)

Yes buddy we have to feel to understand something. Let me explain it by an example, two ladies one has given a birth to a beautiful child while other cannot due to some reason, so can the second lady understand the labor pain that the first lady has gone through in her life?
It seems like these days kids prefer digital our virtual teddy bears compared to the real thing. Where is people older than 35 have a hard time understanding bitcoin because they can't touch and feel it.
