Feelings? Are they facts or are they beliefs? I'd have a hard time with those. They are like thoughts. Are thoughts facts? I don't think so. I think we might be able to agree on the "fact" that thought exists (maybe) depending upon how charitable we are feeling, and the same for feelings- we could agree that feelings are a "fact"- but I am not sure I could agree an individual feeling is a fact. I think some other word would be useful for that. Something connoting both the deeply personal nature of the feeling and the "fact" that feelings are complex and frequently not subject to definition. Seems to me a feeling or thought is a mix of belief and fact. A "Falief" or a "Beact" take your choice.
