Emotions

What is love? Why do people feel the need to express such a complex emotion? Can anyone ever really know exactly what someone else means when they describe their emotions, or just make a guess based on their own experiences? Is it possible for language to express such complex ideas such as happiness, love, guilt, etc.?

In answer to part of the question, i feel that humans can feel one another’s emotions to a point. However, when it comes to that point, no one can truly know the emotion that someone is feeling. Through music, poems, books, and many other things people try to express how they feel and many others can relate. But i think that it comes down to the selfish nature of a human being that stops the person from believing a human can know exactly the emotion that is being felt.

I’d like to hear more about TheCrazyOne’s last sentence… How is that the selfish nature of humans? It’s an intriguing thought, so I’d love to hear it expanded because I want to understand it better.
I do agree that there is a point, because all humans know the general idea of certain emotions, then after that, it’s up to personal interpretation. I think that’s what you mean in the beginning of your comment TheCrazyOne…
So please, write back again, I’m very interested.
