Sometimes I think that feelings are a little like colors. We all use the same words for them: happiness, melancholy, excitement, irritation, and so on. We all generally agree on what these words describe, just like we all generally agree on that the grass is green, the sky is blue, the tulips are red. But just because we agree, does that mean we actually see the same colors? do we actually feel the same happiness? Of course colors have a wavelength and are objectively determined in that way, at least as I understand it. Maybe feelings have a wavelength too? but I suppose it would be hard to measure.
Also, feelings are like colors in that happiness is spring green and sky blue and tulip red. I have been so ready for winter to be over.
