I had a thought just now about the ability to make a person feel what you felt. Say you are standing at the edge of a cliff. You want to convey that feeling to people who are not with you. You have a camera with you, so you take a few shots. You also record some video. But weeks later when showing the photos and video to people you know, you find that they just don't understand. Is there any way to make someone really comprehend the feeling without being there? Pictures show the physical beauty, video can show what pictures, plus a pan can show the great expanses...
Writing about it can help a person to know emotions that might be felt... But there is nothing like being there. It makes me think abut other places that this applies. I makes me understand more of what it is about to be human. Embracing being human has helped me to understand it more, but I still have a long way to go.
More on this later.
