I claim that language fundamentally is about interpretation of feelings.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellevig.net/Language.asp?mode=expressions">I place language after emotions and feelings at the top of the development of the human biological homeostatic system.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellevig.net/Language.asp?mode=expressions">Language is hence an interpretation of feelings, and as an interpretation there is nothing firmly given about it; the words of language have developed arbitrary to express the feelings</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellevig.net/Language.asp?mode=expressions">All science builds on the wrong idea that knowledge can be expressed in an exact manner in language. Too many even think that there are some truths to be found in language, but the truth is in the feelings, and language is only the tool for expressing the feelings, or more correctly: giving expression to the interpretation of the feelings, and that is an infinite endeavor, a never-ending story.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hellevig.net/Language.asp?mode=expressions">trying to express, and we have a need to express, complex, delicate feelings with a language that merely fits for describing the world of things. The usage of the thingly concepts for describing feelings is what sets up traps</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E3F2A01C-F455-4F08-AC72-2D1C7D8C210F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
