In life, there is no such thing as
‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’; everything can be correct and incorrect at the same
time. Everyone is different, that is said a lot, however it can be proven that
everyone is different (internally and externally); therefore there is no way to
say that we feel the same way as someone else- many people tend to do this when
they express that they “know how you feel”; this is very ‘incorrect’, as there
is no way that they could possibly know exactly how you feel, unless they have
a program that gives them access to your brain’s activity.
Moreover, one person’s feelings may
differ form another, this is because there s no way of ‘explaining’ how we feel
to someone else, there are only a limited amount of words to use when
describing how we are feeling.
This
image is a picture of Plutchik's
wheel of emotions. As viewed, we can tell that many emotions are linked to
other emotions, therefore the way we describe how we feel may differ to the way
someone else understands it. For example, if we tell someone that we are
‘amazed’ about something, they may change that into thinking that we mean that
we are ‘surprised’ by a certain situation- this reinforces the idea of language
not being able to explain/describe how we feel.
