Jan. 13th, 2006 08:37 amText is, as I have observed before, a very bad way to express things when it comes to emotional content.
Technical, descriptive and logical information is all handled very well through this medium but emotions definately are not, chiefly (I believe) because for each person emotions are subtly different, a sum total of feelings and experiences that have build up over the (n) years the subject has been in existance.
As by way of example, this might mean for some that have lived longer that certain emotions are sharper because they have experienced them more often, or they could become run down, worn around the edges and more 'ah yes well' as they are experienced; dulling them down.
As a way of examining this I invite you to fill in the following poll to determine 'feelings' given the following seed phrases:
