Reply To: Emotion is Sensing

[fayest42]

@animal Glad I understood what you were saying 🙂 And yes, it might seem a bit semantic, but I do think it makes more sense to say that sensation experiences emotion rather than that sensation is emotion or that emotion is sensing. One example of the difference might be something that I remember @ladynerdsky saying once. I think I remember her describing the experience of having an emotion but not being consciously aware of having the emotion and then only realizing that the emotion must be happening later because of the sudden realization of her heart beating quickly or something like that (please correct me if I'm remembering this wrong, lady nerdsky). But my point is that having an emotion is not the same as actually consciously experiencing it. I'm not entirely sure if I'm making sense. Let me know what you think 🙂
